London shopping

I'm going to be in London the 1st week of Sept and am wondering if anyone can recommend some good shops to hit for men's streetwear/ workwear looks and also some good skateshops?

much appreciated.

thanks

Vintage workwear go to spitafields market on a thursday nearest tube liverpool street or portobello on a friday nearest tube Nottinghill gate or Ladbroke Grove. You can also go to the Garbstore on Kensington Park Road when in Nottinghill its off portobello.

Whilst at spitafields you can check out albam clothing. Also PRESENT on shoreditch high stree and Three threads which is also in the vicinity.

Liberty's just off Regent street is also worth a look.

YMC on poland street in soho. Also Cinch for LVC on newburgh street in soho.
