Petticoat Lane Market
Petticoat Lane is an old-school street market that still feels like trading first, aesthetics second. Stalls run long stretches of clothes, accessories and household bits, with plenty of practical bargain energy and quick decisions. The crowd shifts through the morning, and the best move is to arrive early, do a full lap, then circle back once you’ve clocked what’s actually worth stopping for. It’s less curated than the nearby vintage floors—more volume, more repetition, more chance of an unexpected find if you’re willing to sift.
Why We Love It
Proper street-market pace: fast, noisy, unpolished
Good for bargain rummaging and functional basics
Best explored with an early lap and a second pass
