Car boot sales — Region
London's car boot scene is a treasure hunt unlike anywhere else, mixing scrappy tarmac bargains with proper antiques, and we currently list 19 car boot sales in Greater London to help you find the right one. From traders clearing house lots to dealers who know exactly what they've got, the capital rewards early risers and sharp eyes.
The big weekend draws include Battersea Car Boot Sale and the long-running Capital Carboot, which opens late on Sunday mornings around 11:30am, while Crystal Palace runs midweek and at weekends from its Anerley Hill coach park. Over east, Princess May in Dalston and Peckham Car Boot are firm favourites for vintage and one-off finds, and Pimlico-style indoor markets like Alfies and Bermondsey Antique Market keep the hunt going whatever the weather. Most outdoor sales peak spring through autumn.
For the best pickings, arrive as gates open, bring cash and a sturdy bag, and don't be shy about haggling. Use the directory below to search by town or postcode and check each listing for days, times and entry fees before you set off.
