A guide to useful shopping with a pleasure. How to buy the best and save money!
One of the best ways to learn something about the London antique market is to visit a few fairs. They are divided into several categories: the majority of London fairs are traditional, they are reminiscent of a charitable or costume balls and the entrance to this fair costs few pounds. Some fairs are less formal; others represent good old-fashioned County fairs, where anyone can place their goods. They are usually held out of town. Some fairs are very good (June’s full of such events), while others do not represent any interest. It will be a good idea to visit such events taking place in Alexandra Palace, as the most ambitious fairs in London are held there.
