Op Spot city guides

The best op shops, with the homework done

These are selective guides, not paid placements or a list of whoever has the loudest reviews. We publish a city only when the evidence is strong enough to be useful.

Why there isn’t a guide for every city yet

A useful ranking needs more than a star rating. We check recent customer evidence, affordability signals, local recommendations and whether each shop is genuinely charity-side before publishing.
