I did a few days solo in London, added on to the end of my Amsterdam trip. Prior to this trip, I had visited London 3 or so times prior. So, this trip wasn’t spent hit tourist attractions.
This isn’t a tourist guide. Instead, it’s me sharing some of the places I visited during my trip — places I did some vintage shopping and a couples places I visited for meals.

East side of London — Bricklane. Bricklane is home to an almost overwhelming amount of secondhand/thrift stores, with some being luxury/designer consignment stores.
- Urbiana
  - Mix of thrift, jewelry, and a couple racks of vintage designer pieces.
- Attagirl
  - Vintage designer with an amazing selection. Mostly clothing, some bags. Probably my favorite store I visited.
- Serotonin Vintage
  - Also vintage designer with great selection. Mostly clothing, few bags.
- London Vintage
  - Mostly thrift and reworked vintage items, with a rack or two of vintage designer pieces
- CRABI
  - Small vintage designer clothing store
- Vintage Basement
  - Huge thrift store, not an amazing selection. But their basement level is all £10.

West side of London
- Known Source
  - Well-curated designer consignment shop with clothing and some accessories.
- Designer Exchange
  - This place was amazing, massive selection of secondhand designer bags for resonable prices. They also have a lot of clothing, but the bags spoke more to me.
- Pandora Dress Agency
  - Designer consignment store with clothing and accessories — small amount of bags but decent amount of shoes. Majority of clothing items felt a bit mature for my style, but I still found some good pieces.

Akara
- From the owner of Akoko, which is an elevated West African restaurant, one of my favorite London restaurants.
- Akara is a West African-Brazilian restaurant which centers around the Nigerian dish akara and its transformation into the Brazilian stuffed variation, acaraje.
- Favorite dishes: rice pancakes with black-eye beans hummus and crab akara

Sky Garden
- London’s highest public garden boasting 360-degree skyline views through three-story windows on the building’s rooftop.
- Highly recommend visiting, especially around sunset. It was truly beautiful.
- Make a reservation, especially if going at night. Some evenings, they have live music and a DJ!
- There are 3 restaurants and a bar. But you don’t have to eat at a restaurant to visit.
