London Thrift Haul: Hidden Antique Gems You Won’t Believe!

Join me for an antique shopping adventure in England as I explore Old Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane Vintage Market in this first episode of my England antique haul series! Whether you're into vintage decor, antique collecting, or sustainable shopping, this video is packed with gems, inspiration, and travel tips.

00:00 – Travel Begins
A quick update before a long night of flying to London — nerves and excitement set the tone for a vintage adventure.

01:00 – Arriving at Spitalfields Market
Located in East London, Spitalfields is a must-visit for vintage lovers. Thursdays are vintage vendor day, with a great mix of silver plate, brass, and antique tableware.

02:35 – Vendor Highlights: Silver Cutlery & Blue and White Ceramics
Check out stunning displays of cutlery, rustic antiques, and eye-catching blue-and-white dish sets — but beware, prices can be high (though negotiable!).

04:20 – Unique Vintage Finds
From perpetual calendars to Boy Scout memorabilia, Spitalfields offers surprises at every booth. Vendors often source items from France, adding to the charm.

05:50 – Market Food & Atmosphere
Grab a bite while browsing! The market’s other half features newer goods and trendy spots. It's a vibrant mix of East London culture.

06:30 – Exploring Brick Lane Vintage Market
A daily vintage clothing market just a short walk away. From opera house costumes to vintage Burberry, it's a treasure trove for fashion thrifters.

08:15 – Thoughts on Sustainable Shopping
Why vintage fashion matters: quality, character, and keeping textiles out of landfills. An inspiring look at London’s thriving circular economy.

08:55 – Spitalfields Haul: Antique Brushes
My first purchase: three stunning vintage brushes, each with a story. Learn how to spot patina, craftsmanship, and authenticity.

10:30 – Pajama Dog from the 1930s
An ultra-rare find! This Chilton mohair pajama dog (with glass eyes!) stole my heart. Learn how kids used these adorable storage companions.

12:10 – Mother-of-Pearl Cutlery Set
A full set of small forks with gorgeous detail — perfect for charcuterie boards. Bonus: tips on how to restore vintage mother-of-pearl.

13:30 – Miniature Farm Animal Figurines
A charming set of metal die-cast farm animals, possibly German or French. Their flocked texture and worn patina set them apart from standard vintage toys.

15:00 – Collectible Vintage Cigarette Cards
Discover these colorful flower-themed cards from 1930s–40s cigarette boxes — an unusual and affordable piece of vintage ephemera.
