From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs Retro chairs and sofas have been part of my life for years. The family armchair was covered in throws but still solid. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, art deco style settees but it felt alive. When the East End was full of voices, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. You’d hand down sofas from parents what google did to me kids. That history clings to vintage pieces. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot.

Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but as soon as I sat down it felt right. It’s become part of my story. Each district carries its own vibe. Kensington loves velvet, with velvet armchairs. Hackney keeps it raw, with funky retro chairs. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Vintage finds grow with you. They remind us life isn’t flawless. If you ask me straight, an old funky accent chair means more than new gloss.

Your seat should outlast the years. Before you grab a soulless bargain, stop and think of the markets. Grab a vintage sofa, and watch it age alongside you.
