London secondhand suiting
Hey MFA gang! I'm a London based member and am looking to get a suit for a wedding in May.
I'm hoping to get something secondhand, and was wondering if anyone in this sub has any recommendations for vintage/charity shops which are good for suiting!
Please hit me up London pals

Hornets in Kensington maybe. The Oxfam on goodge st (and any wealthy area that's city/Westminster adjacent).
But honestly, eBay.
Appreciate the advice! Issue with ebay is I don't have any experience buying suits so not comfortable buying off of measurements
I haven't been in years but Brick Lane has like 20 vintage shops, could spend a day there browsing
Thank you, might be a saturday trip for me
Checked out hornets while traveling last year and there was a great selection size-wise, lots of black tho. Prices were around £4/500 for the ones I looked at in my size (little) - not charity shop prices. Didn't see as many suits in the brick lane vintage/secondhand stores (+the underground market) but there were a few! I tried to check out as many charity/vintage shops as I could in the wealthier areas we visited too and there was the odd suit.
Picked one up on Brick lane I was pretty happy with!
Sick, nice find!
Thank you! Only issue is I was trying to look for a suit for a summer wedding... Will see what a linen shirt, bright tie and light sunglasses can do to brighten it up
