The Hampstead Antiques Emporium

I really like this place. It’s a bit hidden so pay attention to the signs when trying to locate it, there are a couple of signs indicating where it is. There are a variety of different shops inside, my favorite being Hammond and Leigh. I purchased some really cute jewelry and home goods from this shop with very reasonable prices. Some items may be on the more expensive side, but that’s because they are handcrafted and super unique, you can always find a good deal here. Enjoy!

Everything from cut crystal glasses to vintage buttons. Unique and fun place to explore antiques. The stalls are small but some gems can be found.

When I was in Hampstead on Monday, eagerly snapping pictures, I had the good fortune to pass by the Hampstead Antique Emporium. When I walked through the courtyard I had even better fortune to be met by one of the stall holders, Chris, who gave me a private tour of the premises (it’s closed on Mondays).
You might be fooled by the small building front here because inside there are 20 traders & stalls here offering high quality antiques and crafts; textiles, art deco jewellery, glass, china, miniatures and so much more. This is also an auction house where you can sell or bid for items and artwork. I met Colin, who showed me some amazing canvas artwork by some very established street artists in Europe.
This place has been open for 40 years, and yet somehow even the locals seem to pass it by. I would suggest you don’t, as it’s a tardis of beautiful stalls and very affable stall holders, and anything you buy in here will be a one-​off. For the few that are in the know, and for a number of celebrities alike, this market is London’s best kept secret.
