I love a bargain, and thus am a HUGE fan of car boot sales. Yes, they're fantastic places to sell your unwanted junk, but I love them so much more for the potential of whiffing out a secondhand gem. However, even the most seasoned bargain hunter needs pointing in the right direction from time to time. And thus I would like to share with you the Time Out guide to London's best car boot sales http://www.timeout.com/london/feature/1193/londons-best-car-boot-sales . Their top five are:
- Wimbledon car boot sale. £2 for early birds, 50p there after.
- Battersea car boot sale. £3 for early birds, 50p there after.
- Capital car boot sale (Pimlico). £5 for early birds, £1 there after.
- Holloway car boot sale. Free.
- Hounslow West car boot sale. Free
The Thrift-Queen's top tips for buying at car boot sales are: haggle, haggle, and haggle. But more practically, bring lots of plastic bags to carry your new treasures in; arrive early and with lots of cash; and bring an umbrella and/or wellies depending on the weather.
