“My experience at Fara kids Earlsfield is amazing every time ? The staff are super friendly and very helpful. They have such great donations to buy and always impressed with their shop display/window. Their knowledge with products in the shop is very helpful and will always go out of their way to help. The shop has a lot of traffic coming and going with customers and donation drop offs, but the staff handle themselves well and provide exceptional service. I will continue to shop here as I always have a pleasant experience and the staff make us feel very welcome. Thanks Fara Kids Earlsfield! xx”

“Fantastic shop with a great owner! They close at 18:00, not at 16:30. Also they are open on Sundays, so feel free to pop by.Beware you can spend an hour if you like rummaging.”

“This is such a lovely little spot in Camden! There is always amazing for very decent prices. The staff members are always incredibly lovely, and not to mention, there are TWO RESIDENT CATS! Give them a visit when you have the time, you won’t regret it.”

“Exceptionally large and well-equipped charity store. The music choice is pretty unique and everyone vibed with it. The changing rooms are a next level of spacious and clean - there are three of them and have multiple hooks to place your clothes on! And not a single dust kitten, cool!The clothes were very nice and the pricing was respectable, actually lower than most other charity shops in the area. Also the store offers a great variety of sizes, whether you are XS or XL.”

I got some lovely deals House hold deco, some lovely tops at a steal!The pleasant experienced lady Emmy was super helpful . Will I be going back? YOU BET! will recommend/ refer friends.”

“For a second hand store, this one looks like a proper clothing store inside and outside. Large selections, and a lots of nice brand items therefore higher price than other stores.I saw All saints sweaters, Lacoste duffel coat and Daniel Wellington watch.”

“Love coming here, always find some real gems.I don't have pets but love contributing to a good cause.Will always make an effort to visit.Polite and friendly young chap at the tills.”

“Really great qualify stuff in here! Bagged a designer coat for winter for £15 and a posh blazer which was £12 will deffo check in here before i go shopping again!!”

“Shopping at a thrift store has many advantages. The main one - protecting the earth. Recycling prevents the waste of consumable resources. The donation in the charity shops for the needy is also important. Buying at a second hand store saves on houshold expenses.The clothes are always special and not as if they are sold in chain stores and many women/men are dressed identically. You can be special, for a small amount of money. It is difficult to describe the selection because it changes and each item is one of a kind.”

“Such a cute and quirky little store. You wouldn't believe this is a charity shop. So clean and organised with a great selection of vintage clothing and accessories. Even some designer items! The staff are really friendly and chatty. I'm going to make this one of my regulars. Great cause too! ???”

“I just popped into this store for the first time, such a lovely vibe and great selection of items all surprisingly affordable!Unfortunately there were two customers causing a scene and abusing members of staff - all over a refund they wanted, which was clearly invalid, since it’d been months since the purchase. Considering these men were shouting and using any tactic to berate and bully the staff, I must say I thought the team did incredibly well to deal with them calmly and professionally. From my experience, people will push to any lengths to get what they want, with no care for the human cost. Customer service / retail staff should not have to deal this, and I give huge props to the staff on shift for how the dealt with it and wish them a wonderful evening - take a breather, you’re doing great, don’t let them get you down.I will definitely be popping back in for a coffee to support this shop and their lovely team, what a lush new find in the area.”

“Really cool place for a rummage through the shop or sit for a coffee.The visual merchandising is always eclectic and dynamic. Staff are friendly. Very mixed crowed shopping and working here (which mirrors finsbury park) I've occasionally been in and seen local homeless having a warm drink in the cafe.Donations during opening hours only - they take adult clothes, accessories, books, decor, also some home and furnishings. Occasionally you can find costumes, plants and even fabrics so always worth a look in.Since the refurbishment in 2023 the style has become more upmarket, stylish and trendy, the items seem more selective than your average charity shop, (chic/hipster/vintage/quality/unusual/fashion/) and the price reflects this, more pricy than it used to be and the other charity shops in the area.I've used this place for years to shop, drink and donate. Has a great vibe and worth a visit on your way past!”

“I like shopping at a second hand store because it has many advantages. It is important to save the planet by recycling. In this way, it is possible to avoid wasting consumable resources. It ia also important to help the financial ofthe charity shops, which transfer a portion of the proceeds to the needy.Buying in a second hand store is economical and worthwhile for me as well. I dress in unique clothes that others don't have. It's not like other clothes that are sold by the dozens at chain stores.It is impossible to describe the selection in the store because every item can sell in an instant.It's worth buying second hand and donating at the same time.”

“This is a rare charity shop. In an area where a few thoughtless residents dump usable items outside in the rain, (most do not) this shop will take in small electrical items to sell, even fix and sell. They not only support good causes but help the environment by reducing waste. I wish there were more charity shops like Fara, big enough to take larger electronic items. For a small shop, it serves the communty well.”

“Picked up some great books at a truly fantastic price. Would happily have paid double the price, given that the money is going to the operations of a charity I know to be doing a good job of achieving their objectives.”

“A fun charity shop with great clothes and books , definitely worth a visit , they are having a Style Edit on 16th March 4-7 so a good time to pop down , friendly staff ???️”

“A treasure trove of designer items. Love this store. Each visit is a hit and miss but that is the fun of a treasure hunt. Open 7 days a week and from 10 am on Sundays! Staff are delightful, friendly and they stock homeware, books, ladies and men’s clothing.”

“this was some time back, but from what I could remember there was a nice lady that would ask about what's going on in our lives and would take a zero off the sum total. nice stuff too from all the nice folks around London, well made items - I still have a pair of penny loafers I got from here and its close to a decade now.”

“My favourite local charity shop. I visit every week as there's always something new and fab and the staff is very helpful. Last week I bought some Miu Miu sandals that look amazing! I wish they had a wider selection in my size but have been told the donations are on the small size unfortunately. I've now stopped shopping on the high street and my wardrobe looks so much more creative.”

“A small charity shop but you can find some absolute gems in here!A place I will be returning to and taking pictures when I next do.Prices are fantastic but also you need to be mindful about condition of goods.A real charity shop that has good prices.Highly recommended! Also, it’s right by Hyde park so a good place to walk after”
