Product Description

Product Description
Containing information and anecdotes, this guide sets out to show how easy it is to sample the twin delights of the fleamarkets of two capital cities. London's list includes Portobello, Bermondsey Market and Camden Lock. In Paris, the Puces de Saint-Ouen, with its 11 sub-markets, draws more crowds than the Eiffel Tower itself. The authors provide practical advice on opening hours, travelling by bus, tube and car, and places to eat. Detailed indices should enable the reader to find everything from regency mirrors to Roman antiquities, Napoleon III furniture to 1920s couture, buttons and corkscrews.

3.0 out of 5 stars Glossy overview, 24 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Interesting and well laid, although the depth of the material is sometimes a bit shallow. No mention of Northcote Road or Thames Ditton in London, for example.

Also the first place I tried - in North End Road - had closed, which was a bit disappointing since the book has only just come out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to excellent fleamarkets!, 27 Mar 2002
The Paris section is particularly useful - as a regular visitor to the Paris fleamarkets, it is crucial to find the hidden gems of the massive Clignancourt complex. A dozen separate markets with over 1500 stalls, it is so easy to overlook alleyways and miss the specialists. This guide lists the main markets, and lists many of the specialist stalls - an essential planning tool when time and energy are limited.

The London section is also useful - not every last market is included, but for newcomers to Greenwich, Bermondsey and Portobello, it is still very informative. And Alfies is well covered also. Flipping the book over so each of the two parts has it's own front cover confused me horribly at first, but that just me, easily confused - it actually works quite well once you know what's going on!

Read throughly before your trip, and check through the evening before the expedition to make sure you have the address details memorised. Worth it's price many times over.
