The Grail Tree
“Naturally, London being London and all, some of the most famous ‘antique markets’ aren’t anything of the sort – like Petticoat Lane, which is mostly for new cheap goods. There’s another slight difficulty: famous street markets with a name known the world over aren’t on the map at all, being called something completely different – also like Petticoat Lane, which is officially Middlesex Street.
In case you ever go, take a tip: ask yourself the all important question, What am I going for? It’s pre...tty vital. Supposing for example you are a diehard collector of antique silver or jewellery. Well, you’d turn off Houndsditch into Exchange Buildings Yard near Cutler Street, the world’s grimiest, dingiest and most prolific antique silver market, about eight o’clock on a Sunday morning. And a real collector will be there long before that, when most of the deals are done. If you are only after second-hand modern furnishings, say, you’d go to Cheshire Street, also near Petticoat Lane, and romp there to your heart’s content.MoreLess
