If you want a proper charity-shop crawl in West London, head to North End Road in Fulham. In a short walk you’ll pass six charity shops - everything from designer and vintage fashion to furniture, electricals and homeware - which makes it one of the best thrifting streets in the city. Add a couple more shops by Earl’s Court station and you’ve got a genuinely good second-hand day out.
Here’s the full route, with addresses.
Getting there: The North End Road shops sit between West Brompton and West Kensington stations, both a few minutes’ walk, and it’s roughly an eight-minute walk from Fulham Broadway too. For the Earl’s Court shops, Earl’s Court station is right on the doorstep.
