From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. Growing up, there was a sofa in our house that had seen it all. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it felt alive. Back in the sixties, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. It’s in the creak when you shift. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham.
The legs were wobbling, but the weight told me it was the real deal. It’s become part of my story. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Hampstead stays calm, with buttoned wingbacks. Hackney keeps it raw, with industrial armchairs. The clash gives it character. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Vintage finds last decades. They carry scratches like tattoos. At the end of the day, an old funky accent unusual chair means more than new gloss.
An armchair should hug you back. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, take a look at what’s already lived. Pick up a retro armchair, unusual accent chairs and see how it shapes your nights.
