Would like to know if anybody can recommend any tips for making cool finds. I guess it's not like the old days anymore and everything's in a retro boutique, but even that would be cool to hear about. Thanks!

I've heard of Alfie's antique market and Decoratum, but not much else...

Alfies = HUGE unreasonable prices
which is great if you have that kind of budget.
You have the normaly tourist spots like portobello road.
Camden market is good too.
Visit Sergio guazelli at Roomscape. just up from stables market.
There are plenty in and around islington.
top off at KESTON LODGE on angel high street and try some great beers in lots of Danish furniture. Kitted out by me.
You could visit spitalfields market on a saturday morning. Some shops around the area too like Twocolumbia road or the brick a brac market along brick lane and surrounding streets.
There is also Deparma out in Kensington / Chelsea with several other VERY exclusive shops in the area.
or if you have the time jump on the train to Nottingham and visit myself or paul at luna.
You could go to Birmingham and visit MAtt at fragile design.
So theres a little to start you off

went to church st for the...
went to church st for the first time yesterday, and spent two hours religiously going into every shop. What a fantastic place, although as a fellow shopper said, it was likely better 20 years ago when there were even more shops and more stock, and prices were cheaper! Couldn't buy anything due to the exorbitant prices, but got some great ideas that I'll post up.
I'm always up for hearing about more places in London, I was told of Gray's and Lily Road, so I'll check them out sometime. Thanks all.
