London's best car-boot sales

Candice, you need to leave a message and they call you back.

Hi people ? Could some1 tell me if u can just turn up or if u have to pre book cause the organizers don't pick up the phone and I'd realy like to try it iv read realy good things please let me know asap THANKs

i went to battersea to day, as i have not been for a while......my husband and i got there just before 12.oclock he paid £5.00 to get in i waited and paid £3.00 i know i said the bootsale is a rip off AND I NOW KNOW I AM RIGHT WHAT A JOKE THEY LET THE CARS IN THE BUYERS ARE LIKE BEES ROUND A HONEY POT THE SELLERS CANT EVEN GET THERE STUFF OUT THE BOOT WITH OUT PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THERE GOODS I WANTED TO SCREAM AT THESE SILLY PEOPLE I THINK THE BOOTSALE IS A JOKE my husband paying five pounds to get in thinking he will get a bargain the fact there was only a few cars and then me paying £3.00 and cant get a look in I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO THIS BOOTSALE I THINK ITS A LOAD OF GRAB

i think battersea is very expensive as a buyer i have been there quite a few times, i can understand the sellers are there to make money which is only right, but i ask a seller how much a mans ralph lauren shirt was and he said £7.00.......he said thats a designer shirt......i said yea and this is a bootsale well of course i walked away, when i buy from other bootsales and only pay £2.00 that was just one example..belive me there are many more.........i love carboot sales but i dont belive in getting ripped of then you have to pay £3.00 to get in which i think is really bad but i do know most bootsales charge that, but if you get there late you pay less but all the bargains are gone

Battersea, without question! It is the ONLY place (in my experience) where you stand any chance of taking serious money when the weather is not so good. They open no matter what and the punter numbers are mindblowingly good. I make good money there, I've tried other places cos the pitch price at Battersea is pretty high but in the long run the money you take more than makes up for it. I find it's worth the extra just to get a space guarenteed for me and not have to queue up for hours.

Hi just wondered if someone could give me a few tips, done local bootsales in essex but want to head into London this weekend...What would you all say iss the better bootsale out of all of them? Thanks

Dear Dave, I WISH!!! p.s Who's Rob? Did Battersea again yesterday, it was torrential rain all day but I took my pitch money before I'd even been parked up when one of the dealers bought a bike I had on the roof while I was still in the que...can't complain about that. I've been having a look back over comments on this page and what I don't quite grasp is why, if you express a negative opinion about a boot sale you're branded a 'nutter' of some type, and if you have something positive to say it is presumed you're somehow 'in' with the organisers... what a sorry and pointless state of affairs! Lucy (a full time seller, sadly not a carboot organiser!)

Question to Kilburn Car Boot. Are you returning to Kilburn at some point in the future or is the present situation the permanent arrangement. Regards Carole and Michael

Lucy k must be a side kick of hammersmith Rob. She probably stands on the gate with him taking the money off the poor old punters

Did Battersea last week, it poured with rain practically all afternoon and i still did really well (took about £150 as opposed to my usual £200) Personally I find Battersea still really worthwhile even in the rain, somehow they still manage to get hundreds of punters in there. I don't know how they do it but if you can be bothered to cover your stuff up during a shower it certainly makes for a better day than sitting in a dead indoor event (I've done that lots!)
