Classic Car Boot Sale returns to Kings Cross this October

This mini-festival shakes up the traditional car boot sale by bringing together a curated edit of the best vintage traders, beautiful classic vehicles, sumptuous street food and a rocking bar in a vintage Routemaster.

A treasure trove for all things vintage, up-cycled and repurposed, Classic Car Boot Sale takes over Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard from 10am to 6pm each day as it celebrates the best in 20th century culture.

The festival’s showstopper is undoubtedly the spectacular array of gleaming vintage cars. Blending the old and new, and bringing motoring to the 21st century with sustainable vehicles will be an eye-catching display by London Electric Car Company, showcasing their range of clean and green, repurposed classics. Motorheads can also enjoy a special display of historic and custom bikes, as well as witnessing daily ride-ins by local London mods and rockers.

Curated by design studio HemingwayDesign, Classic Car Boot Sale presents over 100 market stalls of fashion, homeware, art and accessories, making it London’s coolest spot for vintage picks this autumn. Visitors can shop an eclectic selection of vintage fashion, prints, artwork, accessories, ceramics, vinyls, collectibles, homewares and designer collections— all trading from classic cars, vans, scooters and motorbikes. Also to feature is a curated collections displayed by Coal Drops Yard’s very own Boutique by Shelter.

Adding to the festival feel is a swinging soundtrack, courtesy of the Routemaster Bar Bus, where live DJs will play a vinyl-only selection of soul, funk, reggae and disco tunes through the decades.
