Around Kent and nearby towns, thrift shopping has its own rhythm. Some spots are small and quiet, others are packed wall to wall. But they all have one thing in common, you walk in not knowing what you’ll find, and somehow leave with something you didn’t know you needed.
Whether it’s furniture with a story, clothes with personality, or something random that just clicks, these shops make secondhand feel special.
