Bermondsey Market,
one of London's main antiques markets, attracts dealers from
all over the area and is a mecca for serious collectors.
The market was established
here in the 1960s when the old Caledonian Market site in Islington
was redeveloped. Each Friday the dealers set up their
stalls at dawn and by 9.00 am, when the tourists start arriving,
most of the best bargains have long gone.
The area also has
several antique shops that remain open all week. A row
of old warehouses on Tower Bridge Road houses the best of
these; full of furniture and bric-a-brac.
