Charing Cross collector's market?

Recommended Posts

I was told that the Charing Cross collector's market is a good place to visit on my trip to London. Can you give me any advice/feedback on it?

I'll have two small children in tow, is there anything else there to keep them occupied while I am looking at coins?

Also (to avoid starting a new topic), can I find something interesting at the Portobello Rd market or is that going to be a waste of time?

My time in London will be, sadly, very limited.

Can't tell you anything about it as I've never been myself. But what I can say is that I won the bid for a very nice virtually BU 1890 penny from LCA in September 2014, for £80 hammer, which was touted as having been bought from Charing Cross Market for £25 - date not given.

The 1890 penny was Michael coles  Mike if you didnt know ,who visits the forum sometimes.

He used to buy some from laurie bamford.

Anyway, back to you, @Pavel Portobello Road is always an interesting place to visit if you get the time. 

I also hope you get to visit Charing Cross collectors Market. I might give it a whirl myself at some point.
