When Blitz opened a few moths ago, I found the idea of a vintage department store – or ‘vintage lifestyle destination’ as they put it – a bit odd. But having finally visited last weekend, I think they’re really pulled the concept off. The ‘department store’ bit really just means the huge place is divided into clothing, books, accessories and homewares sections. Obviously I made a beeline for the vintage furniture at the back of the store…
The range is very well-curated, with a range of goodies from industrial desks to slightly creepy store mannequins. Prices are high but not completely unreasonable.
There’s also a cute looking coffee bar at the front and while I didn’t look at the clothing much, I was drawn to the chests of vintage silk scarves at just £3 each. It’s definitely been added to my rota of places to rummage in of a Sunday in Shoreditch.
Blitz is at 55-59 Hanbury Street just off Brick Lane.

That looks amazing – adding to places to visit! Btw recommend the Vintage emporium in Hatfield road, St Albans – it’s a real gem.
I want to go here. I better put that on my list of places to visit.
WOW – gorgeous stuff!
Places like this make me wish I had a lot of money and an warehouse conversion apartment.
will definitely be checking this out, its a shame vintage is so expensive in London, kind of takes the fun out of it…
