London ain’t about shiny showrooms. Stroll Camden Lock and you’ll clock accent chairs with bite. The springs groan, but they feel alive.

In the seventies smoke-filled pubs, chairs weren’t background props. You’d work overtime for a deep sofa, and it’d age alongside the family. That’s what vintage still counts for.

I remember, dodging the rain. I clocked a battered Chesterfield. Some would laugh it off, but I dropped in and felt straight — this thing carried London in its bones.

Car boots keep secrets. Portobello Road spit out armchairs with edge. You need patience to wait it out. I’ve clambered over dusty frames, retro style armchair but the chair shows itself.

Design splits by borough. Belgravia drips money, with velvet sofas. Shoreditch stays scrappy, with mismatched accent couch chairs. Dalston’s cheeky, and you’ll see patched seats that don’t match but somehow fit.

People make it what it is. Old boys sipping tea on a chair they won’t sell. The clash keeps it alive. I’ve argued for hours over a price and dragged sofas down streets. That’s real furniture hunting.

Truth is, scars make it real. a chair’s part of your story. It holds arguments.

When you’re sniffing about, leave the plastic rubbish alone. Pull an accent chair with scars, and let it talk back.
