I'm not much into vintage myself, but these are a few that I know about;
Alfies Antique Market NW8quot;The girl can't help it.
Vintage Modes 1-7 Davies Mews W1
Rellik, 8 Golborne Road
One fo a Kind, 253 Portobello
Steinberg & Tolkien, King's Road; this is a well-known and expensive Vintage shop. The shop is near Sydney Street on King's Road.
Portobello Road on a Saturday has lots of vintage too.

camden market (i believe it is the stables area of the market) is vintage clothing heaven with many large stores that only sell vintage. camden is good for both more "fun" things (uniforms, 60's/70's, european military gear, motorcycle jackets, kitsch) and conservative (harris tweed, jermyn street brands, etc).

oxfam charity shop in kensington often has some good vintage clothes sprinkled in between the abundance of american "late model" clothes (due to the many ex-pats in this area). you will find mostly upscale vintage here (jermyn street barrister's suits and shirts, etc).

That will be a great help. There are not too many good vintage shops in Sydney left. Although for anyone visiting Melbourne there is really great vintage shop called SHAG. I've picked up some really good pieces over the years. Because our weather in Sydney is warmer then Melbourne we tend not to get the really beautiful vintage winter coats etc. Melbourne is the place. Look forward to our trip . Thanks to all.
