This city don’t live off flat-pack. Cut across Shoreditch backstreets and you’ll see armchairs with cracks. They ain’t perfect, armchair retro but they feel alive.

Back in the day, unique chairs you didn’t buy stuff to bin it after a year. You’d work overtime for a deep sofa, and it’d see you through kids and rows. That’s what vintage still counts for.

I’ll never forget, after a bit of mischief. I noticed a 1960s teak-leg accent chair. It weren’t showroom clean, but I sat in and felt straight — this seat had lived.

Markets still hold treasure. Portobello Road cough up vintage finds. You need to keep your eyes peeled. I’ve stood ankle-deep in junk, but the sofa finds you.

Each bit of London’s got its own flavour. Belgravia drips money, with velvet sofas. Camden’s mad and messy, with mismatched accent arm chairs for kitchen. Peckham’s daring, and you’ll spot stripped leather that feel like the city itself.

The buyers and sellers carry the story. Old boys sipping tea on a chair they won’t sell. The clash keeps it alive. I’ve walked away then come back and dragged sofas down streets. That’s real furniture hunting.

At the end of the day, time don’t ruin it – it makes it. A sofa’s more than fabric. it sits through nights you can’t forget.

When you’re sniffing about, forget your catalogue orders. Take a vintage sofa, and let it shout London every time you sit.
