From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. When I was a kid my nan had this battered armchair. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it had heart. During the heyday of Soho, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. It’s in the sag of the springs. I once pulled a Chesterfield out of a warehouse in Hackney.

The fabric was stained and faded, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort. It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. London’s family-friendly furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Hampstead stays calm, with grand unusual settees accent chairs. Camden loves the clash, with funky retro chairs. The contrast keeps it alive. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Armchairs with scars become part of your life. They remind us life isn’t flawless.

At the end of the day, a battered sofa tells more truth than any showroom. An armchair should hug you back. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, stop and think of the markets. Take home something with scars, traditional armchairs and let it grow with you.
