MARYLEBONE. The shop hits the nail firmly on the head when it describes itself as a purveyor of the decorative and the unexpected from 1780 to 1960. Every bit as satisfying as the product range is the experience: this is everything you might imagine from a visit to an English antique house that's run by a discreet English gent. Spend as much time browsing the goodies as you wish, and there's no pressure to make a purchase.

NOTTING HILL. Although markets have sprung up in the area for centuries, they've only taken true organized form since the mid-20th century. This is also when antiques dealers started gathering here. Their presence is why many folks come to Portobello, scoping out goods in a broad range of prices and time periods. The antiques market is held on Saturdays, when you'll also find an abundant array of fashion; the surrounding shops and restaurants are open Monday-Saturday, and vendors congregate to sell everything from produce to clothing. The area's dwindling multicultural population adds a bit of diversity to the available merchandise. TUBE: Notting Hill Gate or Ladbroke Grove

SOUTHWARK. Hard-core antiques aficionados applaud this weekly outdoor market for its enviable array of goods. Begun in 1855 and frequented by 500 dealers, it offers furniture, artwork, silver, and anything else collectors could acquire. It's not a bargain environment, but the selection promises good quality and some unusual pieces. It's best to get an early start so you can get a leg up, but the Underground doesn't run when Bermondsey opens, so you may have to rely on the bus. Also known as the Bermondsey Square Market.
