For three days a week the stadium is filled with 200+ punters selling a wide range of items from clothing to crockery to silverware and gold jewellery, so bring a big bag and expect to fill it. Hardcore bargain hunters can get early bird entry from 7am, but be warned the crowds can be ruthless and you need to act fast to get your hands on the real treasures. We picked up a shabby chic style dresser for £25, and a Liberty upholstered armchair for a tenner, haggled down from £18.

A depressing boot fair where sellers are put to a hard task of basically giving things for peanuts such as 20p, 50p max !!! the type of clientele is only good if you really want to get rid of your extra junk!

This is on every saturday of the year and has been for over 15 years. It is easily the best car boot around if you are a buyer, once a year when the greyhound derby is on then it is cancelled sometime in june. if you are selling and you are a dealer then beware, buyers here are very savvy and will simply walk past your stall without even looking, eg you have a stall full of new stuff/antiques/have professional display cabinets etc. sellers should always beware of those that approach them when setting up, this is when they know you are busy and is the time when items are most likely to get stolen so just tell them to come back once you have set up, if you start dealing with these people then within minutes you will have a swarm of people pulling things out of your car and you will not be able to keep track of it all.

What time would you advise getting there for Wednesday as a trader and is there a pitch price?

hi there. Am looking to sell clothes - used but in good condition (amongst other bits & pieces) Is this the right car boot for that? And would I do better to be on Wednesday or the weekend? Many thanks for any feedback or tips! :) Cammie

Contact numbers (two different organisers) are 07546 579748 for the Wednesday car boot sale and 07506 910210 for Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays. As far as I know they all run every week of the year except possibly Christmas. Anna: I wouldn't personally want to attempt doing the Wimbledon sale without a car, but Battersea and Pimlico (Sundays) both cater for car-free sellers and also have indoor pitches with tables available. I think you can hire clothes rails at Pimlico too.
