The Best Selection of Antiques in London From Clothing to Furniture, Alfie's Antiques Has it All
In March and June, the most renowned antique shows of Britain make
appearances in London, granting collectors and designers a coveted
opportunity for great finds. But year round, where does one turn for
beautiful, quality pieces? The answer is Alfie’s Antique Market, an
indoor market located on Church Street in Kensington. Since 1976, this
expansive market has offered year-round selections from the city’s top
antiques dealers.
Today, there are over 70 dealers
on the premises from day to day. While each has their own specialty,
visitors to the market can expect to find treasures from the 19th
century onward with a special focus on the 20th century. Art Deco,
silver, furniture, jewelry, paintings, ceramics, glass and vintage
clothing are everywhere, while unique African and Oriental textiles and
art are also represented. Costume jewelry, watches and antiquarian books
round out the impressive multi-floor collection, topped by a rooftop
café. Head to the roof for a charming view of the city and a welcome
break before, in between, or after a day of blissful antique finds.
