Huge antique market

Huge antique market

[ Feb.2013 ] My new friend took me to a huge antique market in Kempton Park, just outside of London.

I did not know this market, but apparently, it is very famous.

It is held on the second and the last Tuesdays every month at a horse racing field.

I was surprised to see its timing.

It starts at 6:30 am! According to the website, they closes at 2:30 pm, but in fact at around noon, most of the booths start winding down.

My friend told me that some  buy things here and sell at the famous Portbello Market in London.

There were quite many Japanese people there, too.

Some were ordinary shoppers like me, but I saw two men with big suitcases.

They must be professionals who buy here and sell in Japan.

Unfortunately, we arrived too late because of the traffic jam and did a bit of accessories shopping only.
