Decent second hand clothes

As expected
I love second hand clothes, but the fact that anything vaguely "vintage" has now become fashionable, means that shops are trying to charge the earth for anyones yellowing old shirt. This is not the case with POP. Although it is hit and miss whether you will find something you really like there, when you do see something, it tends to be a real "find". I've picked up the most amazing shoes (£15), tops (£8), belts (£10) and scarves (£3) in this place and always been well and truly helped out by the staff. Definately head down there if, like me, you're a bit skint most of the time - and save yourself from the supposed vintage section of Topshop!!

This place is dear to me, I began frequenting it at the tender age of 17 for vintage t-shirts, and now at the ripe old age of 22 I feel I am a veteran.
Pop is one of the founding vintage stores in London and sells a real eclectic mix if men's, women's and unisex clothes. It also stocks an array or miss matched home-ware and accessories.
It is in a prime Covent Garden location and really easy to get to, you simply can't miss the brightly coloured shop front.
This is the place Jamie Oliver used to get his t-shirts from, back in the day when he was still on a scooter.
Pop still stocks some cool and unusual things, however they started making their own pop new/vintage range, which was just not the same, it was not genuine vintage.
Cool friendly staff that are always happy to help, and the tunes they play are always super cool.
