Second hand furniture type shops


caro caro

Recommended Posts

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!

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 .

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.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
