Today my mission was CAMERAS! I didn't come away empty handed. I managed to acquire 2 vintage Kodak cameras, and even a little camera lighter. Not sure if either of the cameras work, but i don't mind having them as ornaments! They just look so good. It is super relaxed and friendly in here, with just soo much to look at. There is a Polish cafe upstairs which i have never been to, but it always smells tasty!

Nice place to browse around and kill time even if you do not intend to buy. I happen to discover…read morethe place while ducking inside during a sudden downpour. The items I did like were too big to take back to Cali

Palace Antiques has the big boy patch of what is otherwise known as the antiques mile. If you are…read morelooking for vintage/Edwardian/Victorian/jewellery/clothes - you name it, you stand a good chance of finding it in this street. Most of the owners are all pleasingly eccentric, and very knowledgeable of their trade. This shop is deceptively large, it keeps going on into other rooms, and spills out onto the road. Because of the size of this shop, they can get plenty of furniture in here. There are dressers, cabinets, huge mirrors, chandeliers. They also seem to do an interesting selection of iron statues, I saw one that was about 7 foot high. I was particularly interested by the frame dried and preserved butterflies - there was about 50 different types in one cabinet. Crustacean lovers, there was also an exceptionally large preserved crab in one frame. Please, no one get this for me for Christmas.

If you love antiques and you have a fair amount of money then you'll love Trader's Antiques. They…read morehave some really beautiful antique furniture, some traditional 18th and 19th century English pieces with some more exotic pieces as well. They also have some beautiful ornaments and trinkets. Trader's specialise in glass and china antique pieces as well. As this shop is Independent you can see that the guy who is always in here prides himself on great knowledge of his pieces as well as quality of service. I believe they also offer a restoration service.

Coming from Africa, I can't help but allow the rich scent of cured wood to tickle the very back of…read moremy olfactory sense. Natural Style is such a shop where the rich scents of oak, maple and other hardwoods waft off of elegantly designed furniture pieces for home and bedroom. All kinds of trinkets, mirrors and Christmas stocking fillers are to be found in abundance and the first rate service, whether looking or buying, should be commended. Finding Natural Style is like looking in all your pockets trying to find your lighter. You always find it in the last pocket you look in, and during winter in England that could literally be ten pockets later. The same for Natural Style: it's full of one-off pieces that wouldn't quite make a set, but might be just what you're looking for if you've exhausted all of your other furniture options.

I came upon this shop accidentally, but am certain I'll be going back again and again. Ended up…read morebuying a fantastic large mirror and beautiful solid wood wine rack. I'm so happy with both purchases. The owner also offered to give me a lift back home to drop of both pieces. Great value and a really nice local business. Ben

The Emporium is the biggest of all the antiques shops in Bridge Road, and the most comprehensive. While it used to be even larger- it took up 3 floors of this grand building - it still is stuffed with an array of antique goodies. There are around 40 sellers in here, each person has their own stand - and their own style. So vintage watch clocks sit along side pop memorabilia which sit alongside 1950's tea sets. There is plenty of vintage fashion and jewellery in here as well. If you pop in, look for a stand owned by a girl called Kirsty - she has some glorious pieces on display. I spied some beautiful 1940's gloves when I was last here, as well as a couple of parasols from the 1950's.
