Cheap furniture shops?

Dear all,
We are moving out of a furnished house into an unfurnished apartment. So we need to buy EVERYTHING. I checked the prices of things online and they are SHOCKING. Looks like I need to spend a fortune to furnish my home :(

Where should I be looking for cheap furniture?

I live in Bromley, checked out some furniture stores in Hayes (not much stuff available there). Can anyone please suggest where I can find good furniture charity shops?

Thanks,
Tulipz

    Freecycle. I use it alot and then slowly upgrade my furniture when I see something good.

    I have got some really decent things this way! :D

    I second Freecycle. Also, I don't know if you have one locally but near us is a British Heart Foundation furniture shop. Some of it is new so it's not all second hand but some realy bargains to be had.
