14th - 15 March, Southbank Centre, London.
The organisers describe the show as:
'
the finest vintage fashion, accessories and homeware traders operating from the boot of their vintage vehicles alongside a show stopping exhibit of classic cars, London's finest street food wagons, impromptu musical performances, street theatre and all manner of vintage fun that can be had on two and four wheels'
A very apt description; and while it isn't a big show like Wheels Day, Enfield Pageant etc, it certain;y packs a lot into the small space it's held in. And how many car shows would you come back from with two bags full of vinyl? *looks at empty wallet*
