You snooze, you lose
Shop whilst the shop is in town

A store on wheels. Music to my ears.

New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, LA, Paris, Berlin and now London.

Vacant has been around more blocks than the corner whore, but unlikely to hang around for as long, so you'd better catch it while you can.

Sing your heart out at the BAC tonight as the opera season begins with an open mike - or just stop by for a free drink. 7pm. Lavender Hill, SW11. Free incl. drink.
Expect a fair share of back stabbing and high drama as drag queens battle it out at the Black Cab Heat of Miss Alternative. 10pm. 171 Camden High St, NW1. £2.

With a month-long stay and a shop address that's released only moments before it opens, Vacant is one retailer that knows how to keep faithful followers on their toes.

Couture and street lines, no-names and cult-like pleasers - if it's hard to find the one-offs you're after, find this shop and x marks the spot.

Weird toys and sought after labels aren't the only things on the menu here. Sign up to be 'down with them' and you'll be invited to events like listening parties and fashion shows, live gigs and magazine launches.

Vacant - in London till September 23
Unit 1, Ely's Yard, The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, E1
