Bang Bang

Awesome clothes shop

I absolutely love Bang Bang in Berwick Street. To get to the men's section you have to walk down a very narrow, rickety staircase but once you're down there it's as though you've stumbled across a hidden treasure trove. Their stock of second-hand clothing is wonderfully eclectic, but organised into colour-coded sections so that browsing isn't too much of a lucky dip. You come across some fairly classy stuff (think Prada, Dior, Paul Smith etc.), some of which still carries a relatively hefty price tag. But when you consider that the prices are a snip of what you'd pay in the shop, and also that these are often items which are no longer available, any reservations disappear and you grab as much as you can! A must for fashion-hunters with an eye on their budgets.
