My daughter will soon be moving to Lakenheath, (near Cambridge) England. We were wondering if thrift shops, second hand stores, used book shops etc. are called any thing different there.
It might seem a bit odd to ask this, but she adores these places and is really fretting over not being able to get her "fix". (I know, I know -google it). But I thought I'd try our overseas friends first, and if anyone has names of actual shops in/around there, GREAT!

Brits love second-hand as much as Americans. Tell her to try the Oxfam Stores, Churches generally call their second hand sales "Jumble Sales", and Boot sales are very popular as well. However, a boot, is the trunk of the car in Britain, so they have sales from those often in seaside towns.

Oh, don't worry - we have plenty of 'charity shops!' here!
Several different national charitys run them such as the Red Cross, British Heart Foundation, CLIC etc and each area will also have plenty of local stores for local charitys too - and these ones tend to be cheaper than the national ones. HTH!
