Best pre-loved stores in London

I’m heading to London this weekend with my teen DD. I’m sure when I was her age, there used to be loads of pre-loved clothing stores that you usually went downstairs to (even under Top Shop on Oxford street?) or am I completely making this up?

She loves vintage and mixing styles - any suggestions on where to head to?

Oh, I remember the vintage section downstairs at Oxford St Topshop now!

Cancer research in Marylebone is the best charity shop in London I reckon. I don't collect vintage though so I've not looked for that.

Camden has some brilliant ones

Thanks @SchoolDilemma17 for the list, very helpful.

I think we’ll head to Brick Lane for a browse so thanks to all suggesting there.

@Happyinarcon -I’m so pleased didn’t dream the downstairs vintage section at Top Shop. It was pre Kate Moss days so probably mid-late 80s would you say?

I was around there from 1990 onwards when I used to go to that top shop. portobello road was still big for clothes then as well, seems I was tripping over affordable good quality second hand clothes back then 🙄
