Antique shops London

London has two major street markets: Camden and Portobello. Opened in 1837, Portobello owes its reputation to the antique dealers who sell rare and antique objects here that are impossible to find elsewhere. The market is divided into three parts, south on the Notting Hill side, you find antiques with a general clothing market, a bazaar in the streets and, north to the Ladbroke Grove metro, it is the area reserved for flea markets and clothes. Different atmospheres to discover.

With a name like that! And in French too... Like the store itself, this crazy, quirky and funny name literally translates into über cool. Here, you'll find rococo decor in vogue in London: moose heads, kitsch porcelain, knick-knacks from Granny's and Art Deco furniture. A crazy mix of all styles and eras. Vintage that's been going strong for over 25 years. If you're looking for the unusual, this is the place to go!

A large mix of antiques from crockery to 2 000 th-century French furniture through Chinese figurines dating back to years.

The high-end antiques boutique remains true to good taste and careful selection. Mr. Henry selects the objects himself, and has been supplying both private customers and professionals, particularly in the film industry, since 1972. Among others, Paddington Bear's famous suitcase from the first 2014 film was rented from this boutique. You'll find a variety of items at the counter, from sporting goods to home decor, luggage, silverware, barware and much more!

Also known as the New Caledonian Market, this triangular market houses around 250 stalls and attracts onlookers and collectors every week in search of that rare object. For lovers of art and antiques, it's a must. It's pleasant to cross the market and continue down Bermondsey Street towards the neighborhood's antique warehouses. To get the best bargains, arrive early and don't hesitate to haggle.

Located near the subway station at the beginning of Upper Street, this narrow paved passage, lined with antique dealers, also hosts a market twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays). It is then the opportunity to discover the small vintage wonders offered by the various merchants, from porcelain services to antique furniture, objects in the Art Nouveau style to wooded bric-a-brac. Not to mention the vintage clothing, of course. All the more reason to discover the charming Islington district and stroll around on weekends.

Less known than Portobello, this antique market offers a pretty bric-a-brac of objects, from commemorative mugs to old leather bags, old magazines and Victorian pottery, from telephones from the 1970s to lamps and armchairs from the 1950s, Alfie's has a wide selection. Its reputation makes it one of London's most popular antique markets. From the outside, it is just a dusty old warehouse, inside, it is a real Ali Baba cave with more than 300 stands on 5 floors.
