I love this series !! What a great idea. Very keen for lots more london videos and any other destinations. I enjoyed you doing the mix of voice over and speaking directly to the camera. Loved the map inserts and you summarising each charity shop. Really great structure of the video and very much enjoyed watching, thanks Hermione! 💕

loved the video! cant wait to explore it myself in the near future!

Thanks for taking us thrifting with you. It felt a bit like going shopping with a friend in a different city in another country :D I enjoyed seeing the look of the streets there as well. The houses looked really beautiful! ❤️ Sadly I don't really know much about London or the different areas there where you can go shopping so I can't make any suggestions on where to go next, but I'm happy about every little bit you decide to show us! :) Wishing you a nice weekend :D

This is a really fun concept! I love that you showed a map too.

I lived in Kennington, London for a time and would wander into charity shops in Pimlico - I was always stunned as to how expensive everything was especially for someone on a lemonade budget.

Ooh I’ve never been over that way to look at the charity shops before! London is sooo overpriced in the charity shops 😭 a day trip outside London to go thrifting might be cheaper 🤣

That was so much fun! I live in the US and had to cancel my long awaited trip to London a few years ago. Finding your KZread channel has been a blessing as I can live my London dream vicariously through you, hahaha.

Love this series...the more the better. I love how you show part of the local architecture. Here in the States our charity shops/thrift stores are huge. Yours are so quaint and an experience to sort thru everything. I think it's so unique to go from one to another on the same street. Ours are like having the whole street in one big store. I know there are exceptions everywhere but I think I prefer to go from small shop to another to search for treasures. So excited to go along with you on this series 💜💙💚💛🧡

Enjoyed this video. I have never been to this area in London. I want to go but always hear it is very packed all the time. I guess I will wait till spring and then see what it is like. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely loved this video. Loved coming along with you and seeing London and the charity shops. Can’t wait to see more.

I love this, can’t wait to see more of London and the other countries you’re visiting ❤️

I use to thrift in Camden in my teens too! (before thrifting was cool lol) One of my favourite places in London! And I especially love the Stables!!! x

So wonderful that your job is taking to other places for content. I always enjoy your videos where ever you do them, even if its just at your home. Thanks for sharing 🥰💐🌱🌞🌛🍒🏜💗✝🪐

I lived in London in '99 and loved Camden and Kentish Town. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for your new series

Thank you Tracy! I bet Camden was even better in 99! 💖

Really enjoyed this video! The sights were so pretty, and looking through the different shops was great fun. I also love your thrift hauls, so whenever you can, please include them in your videos! Thanks for the new upload xx

Loving this series already! And very much appreciate the honesty about crowds etc hahah. I'd love to see a video on West/Southwest London thrifting. In particular I sometimes find it hard to know which charity shops will have a decent home goods section; most seem a lot more clothing-focused. Enjoy your travels :)

Loved this! Have never gone to Camden before and recently had some really disappointing charity shopping experiences so this was super helpful!

I loved this type of video from you . I love Charity Shop/Thifting shopping. I live near Heathrow and in the town on Ruslip we have about 8 charity shops in one high street . You vlogs sound like they are going to be getting even better than they already are. I haven’t seen anyone do a series of vlogs like this before. All the best. Xx

I 've never been in London, I've never visited UK in general but I love this kind of videos!! Seeing the shops and around the areas of the town! Please more :DD

Love this series Hermione! Would love to see more London ones ☺️

Camden is such an awesome area! Love the shops, the food and the people watching.

I love this new series! Very informative!!

Loved this so much! I used to spend most of my free days in Camden as a teenager too growing up in London and this made me miss it so much! The noodles at the market down the bottom were the best 🤤

I loved seeing different parts of the city. Great idea!

I really enjoyed your thrifting video ! I felt as tho I was shopping with you, you captured everything the homes, the people walking, loved going in the shops. Great Job !👏 Always watching in Phoenix, Arizona USA 🇺🇲

Fantastic series idea! I’m all in!

Thank you for this video I'm going to London very soon and it really helps me to know where I'll get to! 💕

Hermione love this series

Such a good idea and this was so informational!!!

I enjoyed this video very much. As much as I love your decorating , it is so nice to see the different areas and charity shops.

Thanks for showing us parts of London. More please.

'Emo days as a teenager in the early 2000s' - same girl, same! :P

Brilliant!

It's so nice to see where you go but boy is it busy. I thought Manchester on a Saturday was the stuff of nightmares but not so much. I love your sunglasses by the way they really suit you x

I'd love to thrift with you anywhere you choose dear Hermione❣ Little daytrips outside of London 🇬🇧 might be fun during the busier summer months. And wherever your work takes you to other locations would be a real treat!! Always love your vlogs~ Thank you H... Joan 🇺🇸

Yes! Do more videos like this!

there are alot of good charity shops around Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland... ❤️ was there 3 days ago.love thrifting! more of these videos please.

Hahah I go to school there so this is a really helpful video! :) i love my area but its always way TOO busy😭

More videos like this please 🖤

Hi Hermione, I love this series when you take us thrifting it is always so much fun and you are really good at sharing the best places to go and the prices of each place. Since I live in the US I am not familiar enough with London to suggest places to go thrifting at but know that you will find places and share with us because you are really great at this. Just curious though, the background where you were filming was really beautiful, is that your flat? or where is it, because I thought your flat was only one level, I just would like to know. I really always enjoy these videos and thank you so much for sharing, have a great weekend Hermione, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

Love this thrift video while I cannot travel.❤️🥺

Hello Hermione. What a perfect series for you to do! Can't wait for the rest of the series. Are you taking in any of the Queen's jubilee celebrations? I'm sorry she is feeling under the weather but is still trying to make a couple of appearances. Bless her heart. Have a wonderful day, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

Me and my 2 teenage girls will be in Camden in Jan 2023. We will definitely visit your recommendations.

Hi Sammie! Thank you so much for subscribing 😊 I can’t wait to keep filming these so I’m so glad you subscribed because of it!

If you're ever up in Leeds for any reason, head to Morley Highstreet! There's around 10 charity shops there with loads of choice!

Would love to see more areas 👍

Nice Hermione! I used to live in Hampstead so used to be in Camden a lot. Barnados in Brixton used to he good and that's an intetesting area too with a Traid. More please. Xx ps. I get what you mean about overload especially on a Sat x

Traid is generally a bit expensive, but sometimes they have sales where everything is £3. I got merino jumpers, leather bags and gloves and a vintage silk scarf. I don't think they advertise when the sales are though!

This is a great idea......but i also want to see the hauls!!

I'd love to hear some pointers on plus size availability if you cover clothes Hermione. Love your ideas. Oxford and biscester have a few good ones too

Liked the map, been to Traid in Brixton it is expensive. Used to go to Camden market years ago 🙂. I like Portobello market, yes would love you to do a London thrift shopping tour 😀. Like your 😎

More please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyed looking at the difference in the charity shops. I know it's going to be interesting seeing where your job takes you too. Great to watch people out and about, these last two years were just no fun. All the best to you and your adventures.

Oh please do a DIY on how to do the mens shirt makeover! Please, please, please?

Ahhhh this makes me want to book a flight back to London just to thrift - I don't find thrifting so great here in Barcelona.

Nottinghill and Richmond if you want some good designer second hand purchases and they do some great homeware too

Everywhere. Those colorful homes remind me of Florida in the USA where I live.

Yes can you do more thrifting videos

Your thrift girl is here for this! I will look forward to more episodes of this series, how fun!!! Enjoy the traveling, take care. Of course I'd love to see what is up with Portobello road thrifting, even if it's a tourist trap at times? 😜

You should check Teddington area🥰

Charm girl !!!!!!!

Please do video with North London charity shops🥺

We will go anywhere with you! ❤️

Hi, I'm interested to see what they have either in the eastend or Enfield. I was really lucky last week,I got a brand new leather handmade bag in the sallyanne for £3, 💖

please could u look at South London

Fun video! Hope you’re having lots of fun in Korea.

Did one of those mannequins have a Golden State Warriors T-shirt? 🙌🏻 That’s my home state!

I, for one, would appreciate hearing which stores stock clothes for men. We shop thrift stores, too!

I’m in the states and have no idea what “high street” clothing is. A quick explain for this grandmother would be loverly.

Hi Hermione I hope you're doing well! ☺ I was wondering if you could recommend me nice and aesthetic spots in the isle of wight. I'm going to spend one month there and I would like to have a list of cute coffe shops, antique stores, book stores, parks and whatever you think I should go during my vacation there. ☺☺ thank you so much in advance and have anice weekend!

Try Ventnor for a slightly hippy vibe with nice cafes, Crave ice cream shop and a lovely traditional park.

I’m not sure of the geography of London, but I would love a look around Notting Hill x

Notting hill is wonderful! Lots of antiques and vintage. It’s on the list now thank you for the suggestion 💖

Palmers Green please.

I gave up working when I started to have children , when they were older I worked in a charity shop for 2 years it's unbelievable what people bring in and money that's left in pockets of clothes. Sometimes I really dont think people realise what they are leaving in especially jewellery. I had two big black bags left in full of new handbags with labels still on them and were good brands. A black bag full of mens jeans again new with labels on tommy Hilfiger , Calvin klein . Most charity shops the staff get first option's when things are left in and if your working in the sorting out area you definitely have first option.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Since trifthing became a trend, the charity shopping started be very overpriced, what I don't understand because the inventory is for free. Sometimes is better buy new, more affordable.

Come to Maine LOL

Would love some more London thrifting. Just to say don't bother going to Ealing or Richmond, they are hopeless!

You are so very posh and to hear you say pissing…..lol. Excellent vid. Xxxxx.

Whilst not wishing to damp the enthusiasm here, I find it disappointing that an awful lot if charity shops now see themselves purely for profit making. They forget that they survive because charity shops fill the need for decent cheap clothes. If for instance, you had been unemployed for some time and had been invited to a job interview, how many could buy a suit for that? But you might be able to get something suitable at a charity shop. Or so you would hope. Not so the case now though with vintage and designer rails, it is really just all about the money.

Hello greetings for the U.S

Where in North London?

Love it 😍 I was in Camden a couple of weeks ago, I m not from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I was just there on holiday from Miami Florida USA. Make more videos 👍🏻❤️

Thrifting is an americanism as they call charity shops Thrift shops. But being thrifty is English too so Anglo American I guess. Anyways the best charity shops do tend to be in upmarket areas but you get surprised no matter where you go/ live. Seaside towns in the UK have a wide selection of charity shops. You can go to busier places like Brighton or Hastings but there are towns nearby that are quieter and easier to park if driving like Bexhill on Sea or Eastbourne. If you know someone with a disability with a blue badge even better as parking is free and you both get a shared experience. Park and ride services are available in some towns which saves the hassle of parking in busy towns where there aren't enough car parks. If you live local you know where you can park for free upto two hours

Where can i Thrift cheap and good overcoat, breastcoat or trench coat for men in london???

Yeah Camden is ££ im not sure where is good! I love charity shops and so my husband took me to primrose hill and muswell hill but we were also disappointed. Finchley has lots and probably better. Cheap areas are awful. Wood Green is the worst. Southgate not often great. Love the North London Hospice shops though- great cause
