Bermondsey Market, Antique flea market in Bermondsey Square, London, England
Bermondsey Market is an antiques market in Bermondsey Square where over 200 vendors display their goods every Friday. The stalls feature silver items, vintage furniture, china, jewelry, and collectibles arranged across the outdoor space.
The market operates under an ancient law called 'market overt' that once protected buyers of stolen goods purchased during daylight hours. This regulation dates back centuries and continues to define the legal standing of the site today.
The market draws dealers and collectors who meet at dawn to examine quality pieces and trade with one another. This early morning gathering has become a defining ritual that shapes how people experience the square on Fridays.
This site opens early in the morning and closes in the afternoon on Fridays, so arriving before dawn gives you access to the widest range of stock. The ground is flat and walkable, with stalls typically well organized across the square.
Many dealers here have worked for decades and can speak to the history and authenticity of nearly every item they sell. This deep expertise turns the site into more than just a marketplace for buying and selling goods.
