Car Boots recommendations please London and south east

I have recently had a clear out and would like to take it to a car boot sale in London or the south east. Thing is the last one I went to, some time ago, we had scarcely got in the car park than we were being aggressively harrassed by other traders seeking bargains. Can anyone recommend a boot sale which is marshalled and run to prevent this happening - in London or South East?

Thanks

    in Brighton, there is usually a very big one at the rail station, on Saturday, maybe Sundays too- VERY early startm about a tenner for cars, more I guess fo vans- lots of traders, though they get the bets spots.

    another one is BHASVIC college, on old shoreham road- sunday mornings. you are meant to queue in the top car park (dyke road), and they filter you around the block.. though by accident i found an 'advance' queue in the upper drive, about 1/2 way down- get early or leave overnight if you dare, for a good spot - isially around the edge of the college carpark.

    no idea on prices now (was £8 when i lastwent a couple of years ago), but a couple of marshalls seem to keep things in order- and usually let you trade for an hour before taking your entry fee.
