Every spring, a car boot sale to end all car boot sale rolls into King’s Cross to provide Londoners with ample chance to grab a bargain, marvel at other items before enjoying a host of other activities in the area.
The Classic Car Boot Sale returns to King’s Cross on April 27-28 for its springtime edition, which will allow visitors to check out over 100+ vintage traders as well as, of course, the stunning display of rare classic cars.
The Classic Car Boot Sale
Living by the mantra ‘forget everything you know about car boot sales’, this one doesn’t follow the standard formula of just buying and selling old goods. Each stand has carefully crafted vintage wear to sift through on a huge scale, providing a space to get lost in among the bargains.
Plus, the cars on show are seriously not to be missed. Last year featured a ride previously owned by Paul Weller, and this year you’ll be able to gawk at a replica of a Mustang 390 GT, which was driven by Steve McQueen in the James Bond movie, Bullit. In fact, the selection celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, so visitors can check out an entire range of the classic models. Those in attendance will also be able to clap eyes with Paul McCartney’s “The Most Famous Bus In The World”, which he used to tour with Wings in 1972. It’s going on display for the final time before being auctioned off, and the Classic Car Boot Sale is your last chance to see it!
Once you’re done perusing the deals and the wheels, you can sip on a craft beer or cocktail before getting food from one of the market stalls. Then, you’ll be able to attend a clothing repair workshop and then get ready for a boogie at the non-stop DJ sets on top of the Routemaster bus bar at Granary Square. A varied weekend full of bargains and dancing can be found, so be sure to head over at the end of April.
The Classic Car Boot Sale takes place at multiple locations around King’s Cross (Coals Drop Yard, Granary Square, Lewis Cubitt Square) on April 27-28 between 10am and 6pm on each day. Find out more and grab tickets via their page.
