Age Concern

Great little charity shop with very cheap prices. Last time I popped in here there was a huge table of wool (cones and balls), each for 50p or £1 — a bargain.
If wool isn’t your thing then the entertainment section is quite big for such a small shop. Although very are very few people that still have video recorders if any of your friends do then send them here — there is a large selection of videos in good condition of as little as 50p each. There are also plenty of books and the odd CD or record, though these are few and far between.
The staff here are lovely — quite old but always chatting with customers and answering any questions you might have about the shop. Although I didn’t find any clothes I liked on my most recent visit, this shop has served me quite well in the past, with decent tops and jumpers for under a fiver. Well worth a look if you’re in the area.

The last item I bought from age concern was a Miss Selfridge skirt, new with tags on — tag price almost 40 quid, Age concern £3! Thank you very much Age Concern! I also picked up a cute white lace dress, I reckon it was probably a 1970s nightie, however it looked just like the dresses I had seen selling in Camden the week before for 30 odd quid. I popped in here last week and they had a really sweet retro blouse, again I reckon this was some retro item from the 70s but it looked very ‘now’.
It also has a cheap selection of books, the range can be a bit chick lit heavy but its possible to find the odd cheap gem.

Age Concern is a charity which works with and for old people in order to make their lives more dignified, comfortable and enjoyable. This particular branch stocks all the usual bric-​à-​brac, and a pretty extensive range of clothes too. You can purchase videos here for fifty pence, and a multitude of books for jaw dropping prices. There are often boxes of books stacked outside the shop, and I’ve found some real gems out here before. This place is definitely worth a gander…
