What a unique mix of vintage and vintage-style goods for the home under one roof at The Light Keeper.

Yes, there’s lighting as the core of this beautiful brand, but explore the website or store to find the rest of the curated range of homewares and products that sit along side the vintage and new lighting.

They say;

The Light Keeper was established in 2016 after working for over 30 years in industry ranging from power generation and distribution to corporate infrastructure projects.

I’ve always had a love of lighting and especially a love of vintage and specialty designed illuminations. The Light Keeper now offers some inexpensive but stylish classics to rare and desirable collectables.

If you fancy trawling a great london market for vintage homeware and nicknacks then head to Bermondsey, London, on a Friday !

Bermondsey Square
London
SE1 3UN

6am til 2pm

Time Out says:

Held every Friday, this long-running south London market is heaven on earth for bargain-hunters.

Situated at the end of buzzy Bermondsey Street, this market is a south London institution. Every Friday, locals with magpie eyes flock here to trawl around 200 stalls for bargain china, silver, furniture, glassware and pottery. Not everything here would make it onto ‘Antique’s Roadshow’, but sifting the fab from the tat is part of the fun. In recent years, the market has expanded to include fashion, craft and food stalls, but antiques are still the focus. Just remember to arrive early: trading begins at 6am and most stall-holders will be packing up by lunchtime. When you’re done bargain-hunting, lively Bermondsey has loads of lunch options.

With the weather improving and warmer days coming – it’s time to get back into outdoor market shopping. 

Our favourite, and everyone’s favourite worst kept secret, is the incredible Sunbury Antiques Market which has had its home, for now 37 years, at the vast Kempton Park Racecourse. This epic, endless land, houses over 700 outdoor and indoor stalls with furniture, accessories and paraphernalia up for sale. Every era, style, taste and price range is covered here. Nab anything from a bargain 1960s chair for a fiver to old industrial buckets for a tenner or splurge on incredible antique or midcentury furniture. There is many a design classic to be had. 

Visit this haven for interiors shopping on the second or last Tuesday of every month. 

Next market // Tuesday 12th April
