Second hand furniture type shops

[caro caro]

Thank you everyone. Had a successful day. Went to all of the places suggested as well as The Old Bath House in Beckenham. Best picks of day - enormous round copper serving tray ?30 (with stand) and Gap leather shirt ?6. Yay!

Hi, Can anyone recommend some salvage yardy/antiquey/secondhand furniturey/charity shoppy type places in Forest Hill/Sydenham and surrounds. Going for a scrump today with a visiting friend. Thank you!

A bit further out but Central Furniture in West Wickham is well worth a visit http://www.centralfurniture1.co.uk/

The place just opposite the church, a few yards down from D Library may be of use

I loved Austins, used to take the kids there on rainy days, loved the old lift ? also got most of our furniture there!

[SingingWilks]

Where was Austins/what has it been replaced with? Sounds like it's a shame it has gone.

I didn't mind Austin's so much but I find the reclamation place on Loampit Hill very unsettling .I think it's still open but not sure how it doesn't contravene h&s .

Foxy - hope you are doing better than earlier in the year.

Thanks for uploading this picture of Austin's, brings back memories when it existed. Didn't they have another shop between here and Queen's Road on one of the back streets behind Peckham?

[jazzer]

I don't know how that place actually survives, not the cheapest from memory.

With you there jazzer ,all sorts of ideas come to mind as to side interests .

Yes they had a really good overflow place on Consort Road near the railway bridge. Kept more of their real antique stuff there. I was so sad when it closed. As for the other on Peckham Rye, spent hours browsing there.

I seem to remember they had a smaller site in Brayards Road SE15
