We all have our guilty pleasures in life, and one of ours is a Sunday morning car boot sale – luckily there are plenty in and around Harrow.
Whether you are looking for 50p bargains, or looking for more expensive items such as lawnmowers or power tools, boot sales are generally one of the best places that you can find such things.
Some of the best boot sales, not just in Harrow, but in the whole of North London are based very close to the borough and most are within 10 to 15 minutes drive away.
We have compiled a list of the best car boot sales around, these are all within a short drive from Harrow and easily accessible via public transport.
Denham Car Boot Sale
The first boot sale, and probably the largest, is Denham Car Boot. One of the busiest around and always on Saturday morning. Although over recent years, the boot sale has increased the number of market traders, it’s still full of independent sellers and you’d be unlucky not to find something of interest.
Where is it? Denham Ct Dr, Denham, Uxbridge UB9 5PG, Saturday mornings from 7am – 3pm.
How much is it? Sellers start at £10, buyers are £3 before 10am and £2 after.
Dagger Lane Car Boot Sale
A traditional car boot sale and just 10 minutes drive from Harrow. This one is held on Sunday mornings and is full of local sellers getting rid of unwanted items. You won’t find many market traders here except for a stall that sells out of date, and still perfectly edible, food – a really good local car boot sale.
Where is it? 6 Dagger Ln, Elstree, Borehamwood WD6 3AU, Sunday mornings from 6am – 1pm.
How much is it? Sellers start at £13, £2 before 8:30am and £1 after.
Aldenham Car Boot Sale
The Aldenham boot sale is managed by the same organisation as the Dagger Lane sale. It’s roughly the same size and has a wide variety of sellers each week. If you like burgers or hot dogs, make sure you check out the food stands!
Where is it? Events Field, Aldenham Road, WD6 3BD, Saturday mornings from 6am – 1pm.
How much is it? Sellers start at £13, £2 before 8:30am and £1 after.
Queensmead Car Boot Sale
This indoor-outdoor Sunday car-boot is perfect for market goers and car booters alike. Ran by Calver Fairs, here you’ll find bric-a-brac, clothing and more, with lots of on-site catering. As the bootsale is partially indoors, it offers a unique opportunity to look for items whatever the weather.
Where is it? Queensmead School, Victoria Rd, Ruislip, London HA4 0JE (located next to Ruislip Goals) Sundays from 7am – 1pm.
How much is it? £12 upwards for sellers. General admission is £2 before 8am, £1 8am-10am, 50p from 10am.
Northolt Indoor Car Boot Sale
This is a winter-only car boot sale that usually runs from October – March. It’s good for car boot enthusiasts who enjoy going out of season when the larger sales close for winter. Considering this is an indoor sale, the venue is large enough to fit a good amount of stalls and you’ll find plenty of bargains here as people sell off their unwanted Christmas items.
Where is it? Northolt Indoor Outdoor Car Boot Sale. SKLPC Centre West End Road UB56RE, Sunday mornings from 7am – 1pm (October to March only).
How much is it? Stalls start at £12. Admission is £2 before 8am, £1 until 10am and 50p thereafter.
