London charity shops are a total lottery. Sometimes you walk into the dinkiest, most unassuming looking shop in the strangest part of London only to walk out with a Toast jumper and Loewe scarf. Other times, those shops are exactly what you expect them to be and you find yourself in a sea of overworn Per Una blouses and men’s shirts from Burton. What I mean by this is: Charity shops can be deceiving. Luckily, we’ve been keeping note of the ones that pull through every time.
And with the Queen Consort revealing this week how fond she is of the historic British institution that is the ol’ reliable charity shop, it’d be rude to argue with royal decree.
