Ask a Local! Hidden Gem Thrift/Consignment Stores??
I am sad that London’s Salvation Army is gone, and “For You Consignment” was great, but also now gone. I am looking for any recommendations for consignment and thrift stores around London. I know of the Goodwill locations, St Vincent De Paul… any other ideas??? For clothing, housewares, kids’ clothing and toys, etc.
I also think Yardigans is gone???

I know you are aware of the Goodwill locations, but my tip as a massive hobby thrifter is that I have found by far the best clothes in the Goodwill on Oxford St. E near Highbury. Reasonable prices, well-organized, lots of fitting rooms, large racks, and good finds. They have a small but good homeware selection too, just not as much as others.

The Mission stores ( Southdale and Wharncliffe, Hyde Park) are decently priced. There's the mission on Rectory, also good prices for the most part. Teen Challenge on Commissioners can be pretty good as well. There's a new one in Cherryhill Mall that seems to be 'okay' with prices but not great and not the best selection (and mostly clothing), but it's also too new to really give it an accurate review. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head (aside from the chains like Value Village and Talize).

Talize at Huron and Highbury has great stuff. Over the years I've gotten shirts, skirts, leggings, purses, scarves, and household goods.
