Thrift Stores in Norbury and Streatham, Greater London

“This is one of the best charity shops I have ever experienced with a wide range of books, music and DVDs.Volunteering for this organisation for over 4 years has been a useful experience during this time and as I was keen to return I have since been asked to do so for 4 hours a week and looking forward to it”

“My favourite thrift store in Streatham, always has a good range of quality and branded clothing for cheap prices. Staff are also quite helpful and lovely to speak with.”

“The Cancer Research Shop in Streatham has a fast turnaround of donations and merchandise, and they also sell brand new, ready made items such as engraved wooden foot stalls for children, picture frames and toys. Located on the main shopping street of Streatham, opposite the Library, the shop's main focus is quality clothing. The vast array of womens clothes and shoes make it direct competition for the equally bargainous Peacocks store directly opposite. A good place to purchase one off items such as evening dresses, which are displayed on mannequins in its windows. The only negative with this shop is that there is nowhere for people to leave donations out of hours, so upon opening the staff are very busy sorting donations that have been left outside overnight. Also, the adjacent Pinfold Road is a traffic warden hotspot, even the seemingly innocent bays alongside the red route. Public transport in the area is fantastic, however.”

“The staff are friendly and helpful - places like this are a pillar in the community!, The manager is particularly helpful and recently assisted me with a complicated return and purchase!”
