In London we look for 'charity shops'. In North west London I have shopped in Barnado's, Cancer Research, Oxfam, St Luke's Hospice shops.
Americans and New Zealanders have thrift shops.
New Zealanders use the terms op shop, re use re love, second hand, thrifters.
I had more success in Gisborne on the North Island, which had a huge shop. They opened on a Sunday and had suitcases, basic buttons, crockery, clothes on a bargain rail and at higher prices.
Signs to look for in New Zealand
Cancer
Dove Hospice shop
SPCA Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Salvation Army
St Luke's
Auckland also has lots of second hand boutiques.
