Fashion favourites for the East London in-crowd

Noteworthy for: LN-CC is not just a clothes shop: it also has a photography studio, a "library" room that houses rare vinyl and cult periodicals, and a sleek event space.

Word to the wise: The store’s usual trading hours are 11am - 6pm, but staff will sometimes take evening appointments - if you ask nicely.

Hidden in the basement of an old warehouse in trendy Dalston, LN-CC boasts one of London's best collections of high-end, avant-garde fashion. Across three large rooms, carefully selected pieces from icons like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester share rack space with edgy Japanese labels (Sasquatch, Unused) and up-and-coming British designers.

The store's womenswear edit is particularly impressive, offering a more daring and masculine take on female luxury than comparable stores such as Dover Street Market.

Visits are by appointment only, though don't be intimidated: the owners are warm and helpful, whether you’re shopping for the latest Margiela jacket or simply browsing.
