Thrifting Ed. 1: Glasgow Charity Shops: Victoria Road, Southside.

As this blog begins, I want take you all back with me to some of my very first spots for charity shopping/thrifting in Glasgow when I was a younger student, being Victoria Road.  Victoria road is home to a heart of charity shops, such as Marie curie, Barnardo’s, Cancer Research UK, Oxfam Bookshop, and the Sarwar Foundation. As these Charity shops are all on the same road it makes for really easy access for a lot of people. I find myself most weekends returning here again and again as it is so central. The street has a great atmosphere, with many clothing options for many cultures, not just the western way. The street makes for some good inclusive shopping with great charity shop bargains. 

Victoria Road may not be the apple of my eye, that blogs yet to be posted, but to get some decent charity shopping done in one short trip, you really cant complain. 

Furthermore, being a ride or die for some some good vegetarian/vegan scran there’s also a good few wee stops on this road for some pretty good food and sweet treats. I recommend you give it a try for a day out with your pals. Plus if you absolutely hate the experience just use your free bus pass and get back to the city centre or wherever you reside and stop complaining. This is only insight it doesn’t mean you should trust me. 

Directions: Located within the heart of Southside Glasgow. Victoria Road can be reached by many different buses from the centre such as the 6 and 4, or by a train from Glasgow central to Queens park. This will lead you directly out to the middle of street. Im sure there are many other transport links, but these are just my usual.
