No skinhead shops that Im aware of mate but you can try the Merc/Shelleys/The Face in Carnaby street / Ganton Street and one just off one of the side turnings before that mate ........

Camden Town is worth a look on Saturday/Sunday for the market but Ive not been up to that market in well over 10 years so not sure whats available ........

Greenwich Market aint bad on Sundays .....some decent second hand clobber to be found up near the railway bridge bit .......

hope this helps !!

Clothes wise theres some expensive shops in Carnaby Street...Sherrys..a few more nearby but its not that big an area so shouldn't take too long to visit them...amongst all the other' fashion shops' in the area..
Otherwise Camden Market has lots of second hand stuff but its a bit frustrating looking through mountains of shitty stuff for one good thing...
Also British Boot Shop by the underground expensive but they know their stuff..loads of new and second hand record shops there too...
Theres some places in East London too...but you'll have to ask Callum about them, I remember him mentioning some places before...not my neck of the woods....
Bloody Kev was in like a rat up a drainpipe there....

There's a gig in Canterbury next Tuesday (14th) if you're over here. The Peacocks. Though there should be a coupe of skins there. If you let me know.

I can make Canterbury, but don't drink there often.

There's a couple of decent boozers there. Beer Cart arms. The Three Tuns (though a bit pricy). The City Arms used to be good but I haven't been in there for ages...

go to that store Tmaxxx
carnaby street is shit and way over priced, merc has nothing but crap now and sherry's is rediculously overpriced...

Tmaxx is great however, but you need to look hard.

Some of them are ...but most have fuck all....some J D Sports have cheaper Fred's and Ben Shermans but mostly in gay colours...
TKMaxx's are mostly in the suburbs and full of chavvy bastards but yeah you're right sometimes you can find good stuff...

Have a look at the ben sherman shop in Carnaby st ...........if you are lucky they might have some of the vintage fit ones going cheap.....although at full price they are a little pricy at 35-40 sovs.

try them on first though .............not for lard arses !!

when i went to the tmaxx there i got a harrington style Fred Perry jacket, in dark blue with lite blue laurel for fuck all money. it wasnt a harrington technically but it was in that style with a different zip up neck and different lining. still nice jacket for a few quid brand new.

In Carnaby Street they have a DocMarten's, a Fred Perry, a Ben Sherman and a Merc shop... There's also 2 small shops that sell skinhead and mod stuff...

Candem Town is a NO... Unless you like Ska, then you should visit the Elephant's Head Pub on a weekend... Lots of skins and rockasillies...

And you do NOT want to go to Whitechapel alone... We stayed there for 5 days and some of the "locals" were not very nice with us...:rolleyes:
