🇬🇧 London Never Runs Out of Cool Little Shops… My SOHO 🗝️✨

For me, Soho is the ultimate London neighborhood for city walks—every side street hides something special. Starting from Tottenham Court Road station, my friend and I spent the day uncovering hidden gems you could easily miss if you blink! Here’s my curated list of the most unique, under-the-radar spots for vintage lovers. 💎 Et Vous Vintage (Jewelry Heaven) 📍 159 Wardour St, 1st Floor (Ring the Bell!) 🕒 Fri-Sat 11AM-6PM (Or by appointment) ✨ Why go? Japanese-curated vintage jewelry—think 1980s gold-plated treasures, signed pieces (Chanel, Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Tiffany), and one-of-a-kind eyewear. 100+ new arrivals every Friday, handpicked by the owner from Japan. Prices: £50-300 (Crazy good for authentic designer vintage!) Vibe: Feels like stumbling into a secret Tokyo boutique—tiny but magical. 💬 My take: Left with two necklaces after agonizing over choices—the owner’s patience is saint-level! 👜 Touva Vintage (Hidden Bag Studio) 📍 Same building as Et Vous! ✨ Why go? Small but mighty selection of rare, early-2000s designer bags (Chanel, Loewe, Balenciaga, Miu Miu). Owner is a certified authenticator + Japanese buyer—zero fear of fakes! Prices: £180-900 (Snagged a pristine Balenciaga moto bag here—screaming!) Bonus: They style bags with kawaii charms—dangerously cute. 💬 My take: The kind of place where you find "Wait, how is this here?!" pieces. 👗 Blackout II (Century-Old Vintage Fashion) 📍 51-53 Endell St, 15-min walk away ✨ Why go? Two floors of vintage clothing, specializing in formalwear, shoes, and quirky finds. Prices: £50-300 (Perfect for theatre costumes or statement pieces). Feels like digging through a stylish grandma’s attic (in the best way). 💬 My take: Spotted 1980s sequin gowns and Victorian-esque boots—ideal for bold dressers. 🌿 Why Soho is The Vibe No chains, just independents—every shop has a story. Perfect for slow, meandering walks (July’s golden-hour light here? Chef’s kiss). People-watching paradise—artists, fashion kids, and old-school Londoners all mix here. 🗺️ DIY Soho Vintage Walk Route Start at Tottenham Court Rd Station Et Vous + Touva Vintage (Wardour St) Coffee break at Bar Italia (Oldest café in Soho!) Blackout II (Endell St) End at Berwick St Market (for vinyl or flowers). Final Thoughts 💭 London’s magic is in these small, stubbornly independent shops—where owners remember your face and every piece has a past life. Soho, especially, feels like a living museum of cool. #LondonVintage #SohoTreasures #VintageLondon #CityWalk #HiddenGems #UKfashion #SlowShopping
