What an absolute bumper weekend to kick off our September vintage market season, with three gorgeous markets taking place across London.
The Big Flea Kensington
First up was our Kensington Big Flea and Botanical Market mash-up. After having to cancel our Big Flea at the end of August thanks to some very British rain, we were determined to bring it back and what a brilliant day it was!
The market was filled with a glorious mix of flowers, plants, planters, furniture, homeware, jewellery and vintage fashion, bringing together some of our favourite things: beautiful things for your home and beautiful things for your garden.
Our Big Flea in Kensington has quickly become a real Saturday destination, which is so thrilling to see. Thank you to everyone who came along and made a day of it. We'll be back on Saturday the 26th of September with our usual Kensington Big Flea.
The Hyde Park Vintage Furniture & Flea Market
Then came our iconic Hyde Park market, it's so good to be back. The market welcomed a huge crowd of vintage enthusiasts, interior stylists, influencers and a few familiar faces, including the Beckham kids.
What makes Hyde Park so special is the incredible level of curation that goes into every market. Our traders bring together such an eclectic mix of furniture, decorative homeware, art and collectables that wandering around can feel a little like stepping into a museum, except you can actually meet the people who found and collected these pieces, hear their stories and, if something catches your eye, take it home with you.
We had queues throughout the day, so a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant one.
Missed it? Don't worry, we'll be back in Hyde Park on 10th October.
The East London Vintage Furniture & Flea Market
We then headed over to East London, to the beautiful Mile End Arts Pavilion, where more than 1,000 customers joined us for a day of vintage shopping in the sunshine. From furniture and homeware to vintage fashion and jewellery, and with the pavilion surrounded by greenery and swans floating past, it was a pretty lovely place to spend a Sunday.
That's what we love most about curating markets in different parts of London. Every market has its own personality. Different locations bring different traders, different collections and a completely different atmosphere. And we're only just getting started.
This weekend, we're heading to Marylebone on 12 September and Chelsea on 13 September. See you there!
