The Vintage Showroom West London | By Appointment Only

This Covent Garden shop has closed and I'm not altogether surprised. I'm a collector and I'm not badly off, but this place was stupidly expensive for (in my opinion only) rather unremarkable vintage clothing. I once asked to have a look at an original Dubow A2 jacket hanging on a chain over the sales guy. After a lot of huff and puff he got it down and it was a nice piece, quite well priced but sadly too small for me. It was the lack of interest that made me give up on this place. I won't miss it, but, the pictures of their place in W10 look much more interesting. I'm tempted to make an appointment just to be nosey. I expect they'll still be selling denim jeans and jackets for huge sums of money. I wish them well. I'm a lovely person.

This is the best vintage shop in London. I don’t know why people keep blaming about customer service, I’ve been here many times and they’re always nice to me. Plus, the girl is cute. There’s wide range of vintage goods, from bags to cardigan. It’s the real vintage from the ages, so the price is high because of its value. If you’re real vintage seeker, you will know their prices, it is not a second hand clothes shop so I know it won’t be cheap like that. Highly recommend for true vintage seeker and also for the beginner that should begin learning what the real vintage is.

I honestly do not understand the negative reviews. In regards to the price, it's fair. The curation is top notch and you can find some really special pieces, perhaps the best selection in London. The guys are knowledgeable and are willing to help when you have a genuine question , but you shouldn't expect them to be serving you with artificial smiles and waiting on you hand & foot.

Wow! Properly amazing shop, could easily spend hours in here just looking. As others have noted the guys aren't exactly up for a chat, but if you want a chat go down the pub, if you like browsing through a selected history of fashion undisturbed then you could do much worse than pop in here for half an hour. Even if things are a little expensive (some pre-owned Levi's at £375!!!) you're sure to find inspiration for style and there's heaps to look at. I will be sure to make this a regular visit when passing Seven Dials.

I spend a lot of money in this store for work reasons and its an excellent well curated selection of merchandise and priced reasonably frankly for the standard. Customer service; not expecting anything over friendly but it can be a little cold, stand offish but then again they let you get on with it when you need to shop and if you have any questions they are not rude but I'm hardly feeling the love lol

great clothes but really who is going to pay £300 plus for a pair of old jeans you can pick up in Spitalfields for £30! More importantly the customer service is a joke - sullen, moody, unhelpful - felt like I was intruding on something - forced me out in the end and I was the only person in there! Surely they cant be making any money - like someone else in this thread said - to much bad karma attached to clothing to buy - if Im spending that kind of money I want a smile at the very least! Don't bother - head up to the secondhand shops in Spitalfields - cheaper and the people there cant! x

Everytime I'm in London I come here. Exquisitely presented in every way. My favorite vintage shop and I"m addicted. Well, in London, when in New York I always go to Pilgrim NY. But it's comparable like Rellik or Didier Ludot in Paris or Catherine B. I seem to know all the fabulous vintage designer shops as I am a shopaholic. I love designer vintage, it's like collecting valuable antiques that will last forever. The craftsmanship is beautiful. I will definitely be back.

Great selection of predominantly European vintage mens' wear, some good deadstock especially. A couple of decent horsehide bikers- think I saw a Lewis or a Schott or maybe it was a Harley or a Vansen or something similar - when i was browsing the other day.A little overpriced but hey, that's Central Smoke for youse. No classic 40s/50s rockabilly type menswear: atom flecks sports, Rickies, decent Aloha shirts, Pharaohs, Western Wear, Eton Hall, etc- but that's all in Japan or the West Coast these days anyway. Some nice 'officer' overcoats and Jermyn St shoes. I love stand-offish service myself - I prefer to be left alone when I'm digging around. Can't bear sales people hovering. When I find something I like- having tried it on- I pay for it and go. What exactly is the problem? You want to be offered coffee and a snack or something? You should be in Redchurch Street and thereabouts! Fake vintage as far as the eye can see, with cuddly service to match! BTW, it may be obvious because I notice all the posters are men- but there is NO VINT WOMENS WEAR -unless i missed it.
