Hotels near King & Queen of Bethnal Green

When one reader, Barbara Buchanan, came across this gorgeous vintage and fashion boutique she wanted to pass on the shopping tip. "I have used your recommendations when visiting and shopping in London," she wrote, "and couldn't help pass on this gem." Open Friday to Sunday, it's a great find, stocking names Vivienne Westwood, Comme des Garcons and Yohji as well as supporting local talent. Alongside designer labels you'll find bustiers by local designer Gabriella Ingram and hand made head pieces and hats by Wendy Olver. They also specialise in making one-off leather pieces, bags, shoes and jackets, you can even design your own or have an old favourite vintage remade. Accessories, furniture and music memorabilia like a William Burroughs hand printed silk screen poster make this a treasure trove for stylists, photographers and artists - as well as fashion lovers - who are looking for something out of the ordinary. A hidden gem.
