London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle chairs and sofa smelled faintly of tea, but it felt alive. When London was swinging, an armchair wasn’t just a seat. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the creak when you shift. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot.

Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but the weight told me it was the real deal. It’s become part of my story. Each district carries its own vibe. Kensington loves velvet, with plush seating. Brixton thrives on colour, with upcycled seats. It’s the mix that makes it all work. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Armchairs with scars become part of your life. Every stain has a story.

Here’s the thing, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. Furniture should live with you. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, take a look at what’s already lived. Choose a funky accent chair, and make it part of your story.
