Antiques and Flea Market Shopping in London England

Continuing off inspiration from Lonny magazine, there

is a section in their latest issue on flea markets and

antiques.  I don't know about you, but I am totally a 

self professed flea market, antiques and thrift shop

addict.  I can spend literally hours or a whole day 

shopping at an antiques or flea market. 

If you're in London, there are some famous streets for 

antiques shopping.

Road.

Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic gives

her tips for shopping on Portobello Road.

It seems to be a unanimous tip to shop 

there on Friday and to avoid Saturday.
