What The Butler Wore (CLOSED)

This brilliantly named store specialises in ’60s and ’70s fashion for men and women. Sandwiched between two cafes on Waterloo’s Lower Marsh Street, the small but well stocked shop sells everything you need to pull off a polished retro look, from Mary Quant-style shifts and floral flares to kitten heels and maxi dresses which we can picture south London native Florence Welch stepping out in. Prices are reasonable, with shirts from £25 and dresses from £50, while gentlemen’s jackets go from £45 to £80 for velvet trimmed suit jackets. Friendly staff are more than happy to let you rummage – particularly in the back where the furs, capes and evening dresses are kept alongside costume jewellery and accessories.
