Awesome selection of vintage frames and very helpful staff. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something no one else got!

General eyewear is an excellent eyeglasses boutique in the depths of the Camden Stables market. The company specializes in unworn vintage eyewear. And, because it’s been around for quite some time, their knowledge and collection are really unrivaled. I’ve never seen anything like it. I went with my boyfriend to check out some frames this weekend. We were told to start grabbing things that we liked while the shop manager(assistant? owner?) carefully opened and closed drawers and drawers to select pairs to try. He seemed to know each and every piece in the shop. My boyfriend ended up choosing a great French frame from the 1950s. Their prices include prescription lenses with the option to pay in 25£ increments for thin/thinner/thinnest frames. Very affordable for the quality. Definitely worth a stop over if you want something timeless and unique!

My favorite eyewear shop anywhere.(And I am a bit of a glasses horse, so I’ve seen a lot of options…) Lots of great, interesting designs at high quality yet with great prices. If you’re looking for an interesting set of frames, this is the place to go, especially because Fabio and Astrid provide fantastic service. They quickly figured out what I was looking for after I selected just a few frames, and they showed me alternatives that were in line with my taste. I’m now no longer living in the UK, but I still make a point of going here for new specs when I need them.

Very nice shop with really interesting glasses, a bit like a museum, too. The owner is a nice guy who knows a lot about vintage eyewear and its really interesting to talk with him.
