Car boot sales are riding high on the crest of the economic recession. Typically popular
during the summer months, there is now a growing trend of all year-round boot sales across the UK.Standing out from the crowd is Capital Carboot, a new eco-chic car boot sale set in the heart of central London’s Pimlico. Held every Sunday in the outdoor (and indoor) grounds of Pimlico Academy, Capital Carboot sale faithfully allows sellers to make some cash and gives buyers the chance to scoop a bargain or two.
We braved the heavy rain last Sunday to marvel over the healthy mix of vintage gems, collected bric-a-brac and designer pieces – a pair of brown open toe Tommy Hilfiger heels naturally caught our attention – all at bargain prices.
Some stalls come as cheap as £8 and visitors are guaranteed free entry if they add Capital Carboot on twitter or facebook.
