BERMONDSEY ANTIQUE MARKET

• 82990 - Other business support service activities n.e.c.

Bermondsey antique market is one of London's great institutions and one of its great survivors. Properly called the ‘New Caledonian market', it had originally been established as the ‘Metropolitan Cattle market' by the Corporation of City of London, as Smithfield could no longer meet the demands of London's mercurial rise in population... Bermondsey retains a unique character, which is lacking from other antiques markets. The ‘frontier' conditions of the covered stalls at Bermondsey breed a particularly tough type of trader, but when the weather is good, as it has been this summer, the market conditions have been fantastic. Then there is the Bermondsey spirit, people might haggle hard over a deal or moan about a day's takings, but they remain cheerful and friendly. Bermondsey remains old fashioned in that everyone still sticks together and looks-out for one another.
