London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. When I was a kid my nan had this battered armchair. The fabric was torn but held together, but it carried memories. During the heyday of Soho, an armchair wasn’t just a seat. Chairs lived longer than flats. That history clings to vintage pieces. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham. Most people would have walked on, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. Each district carries its own vibe. Mayfair goes glossy, with plush space-saving seating options. Camden loves the clash, with industrial armchairs. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. Mass-produced pieces fade in months. Vintage finds last decades. They’re not perfect, but neither are we. When it comes down to it, an old funky accent chair means more than new gloss. Furniture should live with you. So next time you’re tempted by something new, traditional armchair step into a dusty warehouse.

Choose a funky accent chair, and make it part of your story.
