A Weekender’s Rummage Route
Brick Lane’s second-hand trade runs on long Saturdays and quick instincts. Warehouses, rails and market stalls mix old denim with Y2K noise. It’s a street for browsing, trying on, and walking out with something already lived in.
Vintage & Thrift
ATIKA London
ATIKA is a large vintage department-style store just off Brick Lane on Hanbury Street, set across two floors in a converted warehouse space. Racks lean into late-90s and Y2K streetwear alongside denim, sportswear and one-off pieces, with stock turning over constantly. Beyond clothing, it also carries small lifestyle goods and rotating concessions from independent makers, so the shop reads like a mixed-floor browse rather than a single-rail vintage spot.
Hunky Dory Vintage
Hunky Dory Vintage is a long-running Brick Lane shop with a tightly edited mix of menswear, womenswear and accessories, mostly spanning the 1940s through to the 1970s. The rails lean towards tailoring, knitwear, leather and pattern, with an emphasis on fabric and cut over short-lived trends. Stock is sourced largely from France, Italy and the UK, and the shop keeps a calm, rummage-friendly feel that rewards trying things on and taking time.
Rokit
Rokit’s Brick Lane shops trade in decade-spanning vintage, from early 20th-century pieces through to 90s and current-era streetwear, with plenty of denim in the mix. Expect a broad, high-turnover edit that ranges from everyday high-street labels to occasional designer finds and odd one-offs. Nearby, Rokit’s in-house lines sit alongside the vintage rails, including reworked pieces made from reclaimed materials.
Non Stop Vintage
Non-Stop Vintage is a Brick Lane-era vintage shop with a mixed-rail feel: everyday coats, jackets and knitwear sit alongside louder decade pieces and the occasional designer label. The tone leans practical and androgynous, with plenty of shirts, jumpers and tees rather than overtly feminine lines. Since 2019, it’s also built a rework thread into the offer — altered and rebuilt garments made from pieces that would otherwise be binned.
House of Vintage UK
House of Vintage began in Canada and now trades in East London, just off Brick Lane on Cheshire Street. Womenswear and menswear runs from the 1920s to the 1980s, with a clear lean towards ’40s and ’50s shapes. Expect dresses, tailored jackets, denim, flared trousers, plus vintage jewellery and accessories for finishing touches. Pieces are one-offs, so sizing and condition vary.
Cream
CREAM is an independent Brick Lane shop mixing vintage clothing, sportswear and accessories, with a strong Y2K tilt. They keep things gender-inclusive and known for fun, Harajuku-influenced accessories alongside their own graphic T-shirts. There’s also an in-house rework element: damaged vintage gets painted, sewn and reshaped into one-off pieces.
