Top 5 Antiques in England

67-73 New Botolph St, Norwich NR3 1DT, United Kingdom

“Only popped in to buy a cable and some guitar strings, but obviously had a good look around while I was there. Shop is really well laid out with a fantastic selection of guitars (and related goodies, amps etc.) and other instruments for all abilities. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, not to mention, highly knowledgeable.”

7 Gillygate, York YO31 7EA, United Kingdom

48-51 Broad St, Oxford OX1 3BQ, United Kingdom

“Blackwall’s is an excellent bookshop, with very helpful staff, that was easy to find. My sister was able to give a wonderful talk here two weeks ago. Thank for hosting her and making her and her colleagues so welcome.”

Old Field Farm, Garway Hill, Hereford HR2 8HA, United Kingdom

“We visited as a couple for a 5 hour experience and had a fantastic time. The forge is well equipped so you have your own space to work and all the instructors were friendly and helpful - special thanks to Tom and Eve who were brilliant. We made two hanging basket brackets which we are looking forward to putting up in the garden, and a couple of bottle openers as a bonus. A brilliant day!”

34-44 Stafford St, Liverpool L3 8LX, United Kingdom

“Wish they had more stuff for paper crafts. They do have a lot of yarn, fabrics and a good selection of embroidery threads. I love to spend time in that shop. The ladies that work there are also all so friendly”

Hewett's Kilns, Tongham Rd, Runfold, Farnham GU10 1PJ, United Kingdom

“Better than the last visit - more on offer. We found the restaurant a bit weird. It is quite a formal restaurant and menu and preferred it when it was more cafe like, but I am rating the shopping experience.”

Crookhill Rd, Conisbrough, Doncaster DN12 2AE, United Kingdom

“Been past so many times without venturing in, I Had absolutely no idea they had a café. Staff are very good and friendly, good service, decent price and quite a selection of buns pastries and cakes et cetera. Unfortunately, Coffee wasn’t the best. I’ve tasted, sorry just an opinion. Plenty to choose from in the garden centre itself, with some quality looking items for sale. Why not have a look at the pictures I posted”

Charlton Musgrove, Wincanton BA9 8HD, United Kingdom

“I popped in here to get a few treats for Christmas. There's a lovely selection of fresh vegetables, a deli counter and fresh meat. Lots of local produce including cheese, snacks and chocolate and quirky little gifts. Really nice cafe, great coffee. If you're a vintage comic enthusiast be sure to visit the toilet!! Really glad I discovered it”

83 St James's St, Kemptown, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN2 1TP, United Kingdom

“🏆TOP TIP: best delivery service in Brighton…! -Send your flowers with love with Hunter Florist, awesome service, excellent quality flowers and bouquets with local reliable delivery. - Order direct on their website or phone instead of using an online flower service like Interflora (who take a percentage). Personal service is guaranteed…. My mum was delighted when they turned up to her birthday lunch!!”

Staines Rd, Hounslow TW4 5DS, United Kingdom

“A good carbot sale for Londoners. You may find good bargains most of the time. However, it's not recommended for electronic products. Good place for tools and DIY machineries. Kids stuffs and clothing.”

27 Denmark St, London WC2H 8NJ, United Kingdom

“The shop itself is one of the coolest places I've been to in London. It's set in an old building with fantastic old staircases. It's full of history and character, and, of course, guitars! If you're a musician and want a guitar, this is the place to go. The service, on the other hand, left a bit to be desired. I took my 10-year-old grandson there to help get him inspired to play his guitar. I was hoping someone could have a little chat with him, maybe play a few chords, just so he could see a real-life musician up close and personal (I can't exactly take him to any clubs). He doesn't have a lot of confidence and I was hoping this would be one of those life-changing, childhood moments. But when we walked in, the young man behind the till was on the phone. And he stayed on the phone for a long time. He looked at us, but gave no signal that he would be with us asap. I believe he may have been on a business call, but still, we were in-store customers. We wandered around for a bit, waiting for him to get off the phone and hoping to see some other staff. Eventually I saw another man there, but I didn't know whether he was a customer or staff. I asked him if he worked there and could someone help us. We brought my grandson's guitar to be re-strung and tuned. That gentleman did help us, but had no inclination at all to answer questions. He wasn't rude, but he told us that any questions we had, we could get on youtube to find answers. Seriously? So we went back upstairs hoping to have better luck with the man behind the till. I looked at him and smiled, clearly in need of assistance. He just looked at us and then back down at whatever he was doing (he was off the phone by now). I suppose a middle-aged woman and a little boy weren't rock-n-roll enough for him to waste his time. What he didn't know is that I had money in my pocket, ready to buy a better guitar. If only he had made any effort to help us, he could have made a sale. So, yes, it's a cool place, but if you want to buy a guitar, you'll probably have to be very assertive to get any assistance.”

Avon Works, Bridge St, Christchurch BH23 1DY, United Kingdom

“Really enjoyed a visit here. Something of everthing. Lots of interesting antiques,vintage and collectibles. Definitely a place to visit and perfect when the weather is not great as its all undercover. Overall a great place to browse😃 …”

20 East St, Southampton SO14 3HG, United Kingdom

“I recently made a remote purchase of an antique instrument from this branch of Hobgoblin and I can't really say enough good things. I spoke (phone & email) with Sam & Bethany extensively before the transaction. They were very knowledgeable, informative, and helpful the whole way through (on top of friendly). I was, of course, a little worried about shipping a fragile antique but it arrived exceptionally well-packed and earlier than I had expected. Would happily recommend Hobgoblin, and this branch in particular, if ever asked. Thanks guys!”

26 Westgate St, Gloucester GL1 2NG, United Kingdom

“Great surprise 😘 Sure it’s the gem in the city. Wide range of antique collection, quiet environment, you can spend hours to look on it. Lift can access to other floors and you can enjoy leisure time in their tea room, really have good time with my friend here.”

160 Chiswick High Rd., Chiswick, London W4 1PR, United Kingdom

“Wow! This shop is really cool. Loads of retro stuff, from ornaments to sideboards and wardrobes. They have old comics in pristine condition, vinyl, toys, and lighting. It is a great source for TV and film props with the constant addition of stock. There is a loading bay right outside the front door, which is big enough for two Luton vans or one 7.5t/18t. The guys are really helpful and will bring large items out to the vehicle, and if needed, help out putting heavy items on the truck.”

RBKC Street Trading Office, 72 Tavistock Rd, London W11 1AN, United Kingdom

“Is a wonderful place to walk and shopping many things like clothes, hats, rings, originals shirts, brazalets or some vintage stuff. Also the food it's really good and are many variety, plus the price is so cheap.”

3 Bloomsbury St, London WC1B 3QE, United Kingdom

“Very impressive selection of whiskies from around the world in a charming old setting. On this visit I was looking for unusual craft beers and I was very pleased to find a wide selection including several breweries I hadn't seen before. They were very well priced considering the strength of some of the beers. Will certainly be back for whiskey in the future.”

1 Newton St, Manchester M1 1HW, United Kingdom

“Random quirky bits and bobs! A mixture of pre-owned and new. Collectables, antiques, and memorabilia. Some items are ridiculously overpriced and some are absolute bargains. No in-between. Great finds if you know your stuff. Can be a hit or miss each visit. No structure, more of a scavenge hunt. Fun rummaging through. Central location. Mainly cash only. Friendly staff.

Elder Street, Debden, Saffron Walden CB11 3JY, United Kingdom

“Love this place. Fantastic finds and some really quirky items. Something for everyone's taste. Perfect hunting ground for finding the perfect gift”

26 Bridge St, Horncastle LN9 5HZ, United Kingdom

“This place was incredibly packed with everything! You should come prepared to literally pick through piles of goodies in various buildings and even the open yard. It's a little overwhelming at first, but fun to search for hidden treasures.”
