I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. The real ting never lose value. We only could afford old sofa, retro style settees but seat crack but it never mash up. But mi tell you, shop at sofasdirect.com retro piece worth more than gold. Go down to Camden, you see retro sofa pile high. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem carry London inside. Back in de day, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every stain show moment. Cold, snow pon street, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid sofa in bright clash. All dem catalogue chair? Dat nuh worth nutten. Old funky accent seat last long. Call it what you like, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you pass market, dig through retro, and make it tell your story same as mine.
