Antiques fair/market/store - 2 hrs of London

[Irish]

All,

Looking to find some antiques this weekend. Any ideas on where to go within shooting distance of London?

Thanks,

Adrian

Long Melford, Suffolk, is the antiques capital of East Anglia, and very pretty as well. And I think Lovejoy was filmed there.

Massive selaetion and about 1 hour from London. Never purchased from there but about 3 large barns full of antiques.

Haven't been for a good few years so no idea how good/bad Battlesbridge now is but, might be worth a look. Clicky

Was there a couple of years ago; thought it was a bit quirky, not much in the line of real quality antiques.

Petworth and surrounding villages?

Thanks. Checking this one out tomorrow. I have never been to "proper" Essex so can't wait.

There's quite a good antiques collection at Woburn Abbey, some of it isn't cheap though!
