London Car boot sales- Saturdays?

Hi all

Is there any carboot sales on Saturdays in London or surrounds? Happy to drive out to essex if need be, but must be on next Sat morning.

Really would prefer to avoid the "school car park" ones as we have LOADS of stuff ( hiring a van for the event!) so we were thinking of the nine elms one, but thats Sunday :confused:

Any ideas? I expect that we will have a transit van if that helps any?

Cheers all

    Well I go to it most saturday mornings and it takes me about 30 minutes to look round and I look at everything (and I mean everything). So not that big really :rolleyes:

    I agree, Denham is great, we often sell our bits there. We were there last Saturday it was HUGE, Oh did the selling I did the wandering, I must have walked for a good 8 hrs I'm sure I did not see it all!
    Lots of private sellers, the ads say 10 am start but we get there at 6.30 and have to pitch about 10 rows in.
    I would definately recommend it for selling Lynzpower, we always do well.

    Just found this page which lists all the boot sales in the Harlow area.

    Also includes a relatively new one in Market Square, Harlow which after a slow start is starting to become more popular.

    Details can be found visiting Activ Harlow Community website. Just type it into Google, go to the community section and it's one of the titled pages.


    Happy hunting.

    Definitely recommend Denham, we go there but mainly to buy and the kids love the bouncy slide and bouncy castle.

    There is one at Taplow too, Junction 7 off the M4, I like that one too, that is on Sundays unless it is a Bank Holiday and then it is on the Monday, it is not as big.
