From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs

I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it had heart.


Back in the sixties, an armchair wasn’t just a seat. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. It’s in the creak when you shift.

I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham. It weren’t pretty at first glance, funky sofas uk but I knew straight away it had something. It’s carried me through late nights and lazy Sundays.

Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, with deep sofas. Hackney keeps it raw, with mismatched sofas. It’s the mix that makes it all work.

New furniture looks dead next to vintage. Accent chairs from another era grow with you. They’re not perfect, but neither are we.

Truth be told, retro wins because it’s real. A sofa should tell your story.

If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, wander a street full of second-hand shops. Choose a funky accent desk chair funky, and watch it age alongside you.
