It seems like any store selling clothes older than 2000 now lays claim to being 'vintage'.The…read moreEmporium makes a welcome change and specialises in beautifully-tailored, high-quality coats, suits and accessories from the 1940s to the 1970s. The menswear section is particularly strong and dominates most of the store with very reasonable Burberry marino wool v-necks and check shirts for only £15, and a vast selection of tweed and wool suits priced from £65 to £100. Wool hats are beautifully displayed on mannequin heads, whilst smaller accessories such as cuff links and handkerchiefs are kept behind glass cabinets. The womenswear selection is smaller- with only a few small rails devoted to evening wear. What pieces they do have though, are exquisite- I tried on a delicate green, silk 1940s tea-dress which for £65 was an absolute bargain. There is however a very good selection of outerwear- there are some beautiful fake-fur coats for under £75 and some immaculate raincoats for under £80. Everything in the shop is beautifully presented and smart. There is no rummaging through rails of rubbish to find items, just a few well-chosen, classic pieces displayed beautifully.

There's nothing wrong with this vintage shop. And, if you want a new coat, or some jewellery or…read moresome sunglasses it's great. but these are the only things I ever find in here. That said, there's a lot of stuff. All of the dresses are well looked after in those plastic cases, but I find that such a pain. I know it protects them blah blah blah. but I want to go through clothes being all touchy feely. It's part of the fun. I hate that I can't do that in here. The guys stuff seems better. The shirts are cool and the whole shop does the indie boy in Greenwich thing very well. It's pretty pricey in here, but that's because the stuff is very good quality. It's almost too good - there's something lovely about vintage clothes that need a little repairing maybe that's just me. Do go in and take a look around. You might not find the perfect piece, but you'll have fun trying on cool shades and hats. Which is an equally important part of shopping.

Though extremely small in size (it…read moremakes up one quarter of The Beehive store) it has a varied range of gifts, pieces for the home and accessories. The shop mainly stocks vintage fabrics, light fixtures, cocktail glasses and shakers (they have a lot of Baby Cham pieces), phones, luggage and figurines at a very reasonable price. I found an incredible 1950s leather vanity case, with a matching mirror, perfume bottle and powder case for only 32 pounds, in perfect condition with all of its original packaging and instructions in tact. The shop was previously owned by Flying Duck Enterprises who sold retro and vintage gifts, but also sold kitcsh reproduction gifts (think hideous Elvis clocks and Marilyn Monroe watches) I am pleased to say that the new owners have not succumbed- their stock seems entirely authentic and slogan free.

Tucked away in Greenwich Market is this cute little two-shop vintage/second hand establishment. It's well laid out and un-cluttered. I loved this shop for all the army/military gear it has and if I was still into my Am-Dram I would be here every week to steal new stock for costume. Now I didn't purchase anything here on my visit, because I am poor, but I did see some great items at reasonable prices. Like most vintage shops its got your mock/real furs and granny jumpers and tweed jackets. However it has some great choice pieces and lovely little bits and bobs.

They don't have a big range of clothing, and was nice to see that you don't have to rummage through stuff. The left side of the store was more elegant, more of the 1930s and 40s era. The clothes are pricey a dress could easily be £55 but the quality of the garment is well preserved. If I'm in Greenwich again, ill shall pop and who knows I might come away with something.

The bouncers probably only let me in because they were scared I might chafe myself to death on the lonely walk home. I don't want my bad taste to tar corsetry for other, responsible wearers of corsets though. They are beautiful, ingenious things and I believe every woman (over fourteens at least ) deserves one. If you are in the market for such luxury, Lulu and lush is definitely the place to go. They fit, customise if required, stock several brands and have some of the most eye wateringly sexy lingerie I have seen since my first Wonderbra.

It gives you the feeling that buying something from here is no biggie, it's what every woman deserves. They specialise in beautiful, boned corsets, ranging from those with a real wow factor to more demure (well, slightly) ones. You can really go for the buxom burlesque babe look with a little number from here. There's also a lingerie and corsetry customizing service, so if you want something extra special you can really go wild. The great thing is that they are suitable for all shapes and sizes as that's what corsets are for, sucking you in and pushing you out... in all the right places! I love the ruffled silk knickers for a bit of frivolity. As soon as you put them on you just want to shake it.

It's full of wonderful pretty dresses that I really was desperate to try on. Until someone reminded me I didn't have any money. Spoilsports. The shop is very Greenwich. Those of you who know Greenwich well will understand that, but it basically means vintage-looking, but still darn well dressed without trying too hard. Which of course, is nigh on impossible to get right. Grrr. The best thing about the shop? Well it's there to hsout about new designers and work with them. I like that. They work with the Youth Support Trust and it feels like they're doing something good. So really, if I shop there, I'm helping people. Off I toddle to buy me a new dress

Anyways, I'm staying in High Street Kensington and there's lots of chain stores I can find back in the U.S which is a disappointment since I'm looking for ultra cute/unique finds to take back to L.A / O.C. As I was wondering about Greenwich I saw the name on the outside and thought I'd get a quick peek at it and loved it. I bought like four random cards (these are funny and I've yet to see them in Cali) and almost bought two coats here, but I'm still on the hunt and have two more days to do so (but I have a feeling I'll end up making the long boat trip back down there before I leave). Definitely a store to check out with some cool/cute finds.
