ALADDIN’S CAVE

A Living up to its cavernous name, this southeast London salvage star is known for its Tardis-like size, more object-filled rooms revealing themselves once you’re inside. The shop’s collection spans paving stones, fireplaces, timber, doors, windows and sanitaryware, as well as the more surprising, such as a 13ft great white shark model, typewriters, grandfather clocks, swings and the odd canoe.
