Hard-core antiques aficionados applaud this weekly outdoor market for its enviable array of goods. Begun in 1855 and frequented by 500 dealers, it offers furniture, artwork, silver, and anything else collectors could acquire. It's not a bargain environment, but the selection promises good quality and some unusual pieces. It's best to get an early start so you can get a leg up, but the Underground doesn't run when Bermondsey opens, so you may have to rely on the bus. Also known as the Bermondsey Square Market.
