About Battersea Boot Market

Battersea Boot Market runs Every Sunday All The Year Between 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm—the original Sunday afternoon car boot sale in London. Established in 1999, it is the one you heard about (they canʼt buy word of mouth) the one you read about, the one you have seen on TV. This is the boot sale people talk about when they are at other boot sales.

Full Details of Sellers at Battersea Boot

Car Pitch Info

All of the pitches are based on arrival time – not the position or the space you will get. Car pitch prices start at £25 for 12pm arrival. There will be buyers onsite already when you arrive.

Premium pitches allow entry to set up before any buyers are onsite. They are most popular with first-timers, slightly nervous or inexperienced sellers, and also traders. Premium pitches cost £30 for entry at 11.30 am, or £35 for 11 am entry.

Trading starts at 12pm. Sellers are not permitted to trade or look around before 12pm. All pitches are to be set up along the side of the car (not the boot) All cars, up to 7 seaters, and estates, are charged at the same price.

Pick up trucks, cars with 8 or more seats, and/or cars that are van-based people carriers (for example Vito, Caravelle, Proace, Traveller, Bongo, etc) need to book a VAN pitch.

Van Pitch Info

Only a handful of van spaces are available each week. PLEASE NOTE: They can no longer accommodate long-wheelbase (LWB) or Luton-type vehicles due to access restrictions.

They can accept VW Camper/ Transporter type & up to short or medium (SWB, MWB) Transit-type vans, and pickup trucks only.

Kangoo/Berlingo/car-based minivans you can book a car pitch.

£35 Standard van entry time of noon – there will be buyers onsite when you arrive.

£50 Premium van entry time 11 am – giving you some time to set up before any buyers are onsite.

Please note: NO LUTONS OR LWB VANS – They cannot get you onsite

Walk-in Info

You don’t need a car to have a pitch – you can arrive on foot. Walk-in pitches do not need to be booked.

A walk-in pitch costs £10 for one person with one large bag/suitcase (walk-in pitches are not for sharing) You will get a table-sized pitch area. Tables/rails are not provided by us, you may bring your own if you wish. We get walk-in sellers onsite at 1 pm and on dry/sunny days we strongly advise arriving before 1 pm. We don’t have a cut-off time for admitting walk-in sellers, but sadly sometimes we do have to turn away very late arrivals when we are full to capacity – If you’re there at 1 pm we can see how many pitches we need to find we’ll do our very best to get everyone a space. Payment is cash only, upon entry.

If you’d like earlier entry and/or a larger pitch area feel free to book a car pitch instead – you can still arrive on foot (2 people per pitch max) If you decide to do this it’s essential you let us know – enter ‘walk-in’ for car details when checking out, and please email us in reply to your booking confirmation to let us know you’ll be arriving on foot.

Please note there will be buyers already onsite when walk-ins start to set up at 1 pm. Sellers have to be offsite by 5 pm so a call for all sellers to start packing is made from 4 pm.
