Pavel Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 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. Quote

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.

1949threepence Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 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. Quote
copper123 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I have fond memories of this place from the late seventies - I must go back sometime 1 Quote
