Antiquarius is the oldest and most famous antiques centre in London. The building, which originally started as a gentleman's club and pool hall in the 1920's, is popular not only for the vast range of quality antiques on offer from the market's 80 dealers but, equally, for the village-like charm created by the many colourful characters who have traded here throughout the last 30 years.

Since its inception in the 1960's, Antiquarius has become an antiques trend setter and a substantial trading source for collectors, interior designers and curio hunters alike, providing the finest antiques in a contemporary setting. Together with a busy and friendly atmosphere this is an established 'must' on the tourist's itinerary, and many celebrities and designers ensure a visit whilst in London, however short their stay.
