Beyond Retro Review

I love vintage stores! And London is full of them. The prices are high.

Compared to the Brick Lane behemoth, this branch of Beyond Retro is a bit meh. It's a basement shop and pretty small, so the choice is nowhere near as comprehensive. Don't expect much help from the staff either. If you're looking for vintage, there are far nicer shops in the area.

So much stuff! Actually found browsing was hard, hehe. Suggest you go with something in mind. Awesome place.

Well-stocked retro-lumpeks;) For bored with shopping, a slot machine with a large selection of games from the 80-90s. Grazing;)

second time buying stuff here, always find things suprisingly pleasant great spot for vintage shopping

Loads of my favourite ever shirts have come from here, I can't walk by without popping in.

A lot of variety of clothes, you always find something interesting. Very friendly shop assistants

Good selection of clothes and accessories and the quality seems good

The first vintage clothes shop ive visited in London and its great. The staff were super cool and nice, the clothes awesome. A great experience, found more than what I was looking for.

Stumbled upon this place with my sister.. we were looking for hats for a themed party. We had loads of fun in the store. Huge selection of clothes, accessories and what not!

This store was great! I found so much cool stuff that i loved and i had a lot of fun shopping here. the staff are really nice and hey helped me a lot!!!

Thousands of quality vintage items that are well categorised and reasonably priced. The vintage evening wear section was especially enticing but there is also a big range of winterwear and all the makings of high fashion outfits for those with a smaller budget but a good eye.

There is clothing "AMAZING" it's worth the detour ... A must SOHO

I love the shop and the selection but I must say that the customer service is very poor and sometimes quite rude... Based on my experience of course.

I always shop here and the people always say hello and are super friendly!

I always find really good bargains, would defo recommend :)

Slightly smaller than its East End counterparts but a great selection

When you walk into to Beyond Retro you are instantly hit with that wonderful musty smell traditionally associated with vintage clothes and then the fun begins as you rifle through the racks of hidden gems.

Beyond is a little more expensive than other vintage clothes stores, but the selection is varied and you will rarely come out empty handed.

Service is fairly standard, but you ll have more fun here than TopShop!

A lot of attention and care went into curating the racks of vintage clothing. They were arranged in clothing type and gradient/ hues. Pieces here were well-made mostly outside the mega garment-manufacturing superpowers of today (I.e. you ll find clothes made in the US, Korea, Philippines etc). There are enough quirky garments to regular joe shirts to have a fun balance. My go-to place for vintage shopping.

Nice choice of clothing and big store but price point was a bit high for vintage

Lots of amazing vintage-clothing, but a bit limited when it comes to medium and smaller mensweae.

Really love this place. Nostalgic atmosphere with tones of retro clothes and accessories.
Found a nearly new pair of DM for only 46 quid.
Nice and friendly staff.

Another great buy at retro. I shop here 2-3 times a year (Theme and current fashion). Always exciting stuff, great staff knowledge/taste and help. My daughter also loves it so great to get her off the high st fashion.
Good times.

Good, if you can bear the aneurysm inducing music to sort thru the carboot stock to find a gem of vintage clothing. Looked pretty good though for steam punk/original dress-up clothing

Huge selection of retro and vintage clothing, shoes and accessories. Could spend a lot of time rummaging through all the rails

A little vintage shop hidden between Oxford Street and carnaby street, so it's nice a quite. Definitely a vintage feel inside with all the staff and clothing about. Always something to find in there so is always a regular stop off when I'm in the area

Awesome retro shop massive range and friendly staff!

On point, on trend and on budget - can't recommend this place enough.

its such a great bargain considering youre getting genuine vintage and retro clothing, sometimes something is a little gnarled and broken e.g i got a plaid top from there recently and one of the push buttons were broken but it really made it look good so dont judge everything so quickly these things give it character, the staff were really welcoming and understood how you can easily feel overwhelmed with all these nice clothes around

A great selection of vintage to match the great music they play... Everytime!

really awesome shop, big and has a big range. arcade machine in the corner and really awesome atmosphere. prices are pretty alright, especially compared to other vintage stores in the area

Cool store with lots of vintage gems, and charming staff <3

Amazing store and the staff are absolute legends!!!

Really nice but quite pricey considering it is second-hand.

Amazing staff and selection.

Better than topshop

Great store, lovely staff and the Fashion "Fabulous Darling." First time visiting and will return :)

Being London .. still expensive. Going to Shoreditch's Vintage flea market is more of an issue, which isn't particularly cheap either. They don't have too much variety of clothes and the price is high.

Love this vintage venue for grabbing a bargain, remember to barter to try and get a discount, as vintage shops are often more expensive than finding a genuinely cheap bargain on a market stall (presumably because the shop owners own a storefront and have to cover their expenditure). So many fab outfits!

This store has a very wide selection of clothing. They have a lot of stuff to go through. The staff are usually very nice. The store can get a bit crowded. Some of my favourite pieces have come from here although from going there a lot through the past years, they always seem to have basically the same things, and the selection doesn't change much. If I go there in the summer, they will have fairly the same stuff they will have if I go there 6 months later.

Good selection of vintage and Preloved clothing range of selections and sizes neatly organised. I found some great vintage Ralph Lauren shirts and a beat up old band hoodie that I love

1 of the Best place in central London for vintage cloting

Great vintage shop, staff are very friendly and helpful. Not too hard to find and always clean

Is a cool shop, but there could be more for men. There are just a sixth of the stuff there for men, and these are not very exciting

I'm someone who hates shopping but Matthew sorted me out with a fantastic 70's outfit for a party within a few minutes of arriving at the shop. I thought the value was decent also. Highly recommended based on my experience!

Amizing please with a good music and very friendly staff. I'm sure I'll come back to visit them. Rock'n roll

Great energy, music, and clothes. What more could you need?

The music is so cool and I think that clothes are very vintage and very good...

A totally amazing shop! Gorgeous retro clothes are very reasonable prices, sizing info, good fitting rooms, and nice staff.

Awesome staff, great selection and hurrah they re finally central too! :)

It's a pretty fun store; they have some quirky pieces in here. They were playing a lot of garage-y/bluesy rock when I was there which was nice. In terms of value, it's a bit hit or miss, but mostly ok; there were some jackets I was interested in which were fairly worn that were going for what I consider an unreasonable price.

My only advice, if you find something you like, buy it straightaway. Next time you come it'll be gone forever.

Beyond Retro is one of my all time favourite vintage clothing chains. This branch just off Oxford Circus is a little bit on the small side but the selection is great and the staff are always happy to help. Find some pure retro classics whilst they belt out some classic tunes.

Shopping for a 70's party tomorrow night. Visited Beyond Retro. Huge range of retro vintage clothing at a great price. Shop assistants provided some great recommendations. Far happier shopping here then buying mass-produced near-plastic fancy dress outfits; and cheaper! Well worth a visit.

A great treasure trove of vintage in the middle of London and only a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. Found some amazing vintage sunglasses in here that I will be happy with forever!

Expensive for what a lot of the clothes are and limited selection of styles.

Nice selection and layout but not amazing prices for a thrift store.

A good vintage shop with a retro vibe from the old music playing in the store and the decor. The clothes are a little pricy, but there's a large selection of stuff on the shop and a range of sizes. Dressing rooms are good and spacious, but when it's busy there might be a queue as there isnt many stalls.

Make time to visit Beyond Retro - and when I say make time, firstly make sure you go and secondly, give yourself an hour for rummaging.
That may sound mad but this place is packed to the brim of vintage fashion, for both men and women so you can get your fix on some sometimes outrageous but always cute, outfits.

The prices are completely reasonable for a London vintage shop - where most places around the city charge almost triple what the items are worth, BR keep it purse friendly so you'll always find a good bargain in the rails.

Definitely recommend to those who are into vintage culture, lovely shop, very good vibe and friendly staff! More important the pieces they have are so worth it!

I found old Doc Martens series ... Cool staff .... Thank you ...

Good quality nice and friendly staff definitely go back again
