The Charity Shop Hop: Visit all the hotspots you can cram into a couple of hours, scouring the four corners of London.

Charity shopping is like going on a blind date… without the cringe factor. There is love at first sight, hideous misfires (always try it on), and rampant butterflies when another shopper simultaneously dives for that rare record.

Charity shopping also deserves generous feel good points. Not only are you helping to support worthwhile causes, you’re keeping unwanted possessions out of landfills.

Each area of London has it’s specialty. Some neighbourhoods are a dead cert for pristine vintage and designer labels, others for collectible records and magazines, or fabrics and haberdashery and some areas are just great for grabbing real steals and bargains. Your guide, Sanna, knows where to look. She’s spent years hunting for props and wardrobe for photo-shoots and adverts, and she’s now leading monthly insider expeditions to all the hot spots you can cram into a morning or afternoon.

Starting with 3 of her favourite routes, Sanna will be taking you through either Hackney, Hampstead and South Kensington and their neighbouring areas. Check the times and dates for each specific area, and brand new routes will be added soon.

This booking is for Hackney, East London.
