Why We Love This Unique Experience
London Experience Gifts: Tour London's best vintage boutiques with an expert guide, learn fashion history, and pick up some great one-of-a-kind pieces for your wardrobe during this 9 hour tour.
You'll begin your experience by meeting your guide on Portobello Road. From there, they'll take you on an awe-inspiring journey through time and London's best vintage shops. Depending on the day, you could be exploring a mix of Covent Garden, Soho, Brick Lane and Spitalfields. As you explore the colourful, hidden shops filled with preloved treasures, your guide will teach you about the historical significance of the area and the trends that have shaped it over the decades. You'll also stop for two food breaks of your choosing at local eateries. By the end of your tour, you'll hopefully have picked up some one-of-a-kind pieces for your own wardrobe that'll have everyone asking 'Where did you get that?!'
This Full Day Vintage Fashion Tour of London is the perfect experience gift for the fashionista in your life, and would make a fun addition to your next trip to London.

Experience Overview:
Full Day London Vintage Shopping TourThis tour will begin in Portobello Market and then we'll travel to Soho and Covent Garden, or, if desired, we can give another version of it that visits Brick Lane and Spitalfields, or (on Wednesdays and Fridays) the markets of Camden Passage.
We will explore to your heart's content, mixing in history of the area and history of particular shops with the shop visits. There will be plenty of fashion history thrown in along the way as well, so be prepared to get excited about some 1970s London designer you never heard of before.
We believe deeply that vintage shopping is the most exciting shopping that exists and that it's the best way to develop one's personal style. We want to make you aware of the wealth that London has to offer, and we can focus on particular eras or help you seek out particular items of clothing.
Most of all, we want to encourage you to handle the past, the quality and the feel of times gone by, letting old clothes and jewellery stir up something intangible but exciting that, at the very least, enables better understanding of the people and cultures that shaped us.

Organized by
Fashion Tours London
Beginning in March 2019, our first tours will be devoted to women’s fashion in Mayfair, as we seek to introduce our clients to designers they may never have heard of and to tell them more about the designers they already know. We will both go off the beaten path and trod down many of the most well-known streets in Mayfair, dripping with famous names now and from decades past. We will conjure up the ghosts of designers like Charles James, Norman Hartnell, and Jean Muir; we will consider the turn-of-the-century brilliance of Lucile and other court dressmakers who decorated the debutantes, as well as the great tailoring house of Redfern, whose sporting suits gave women excitingly new freedom.
