Records Fairs

London Central

London International (off Tottenham Court Rd) - Four times a year

One of the better fairs, often the same dealers but the pricing can be better than Victoria. Worth a visit, especially if you arrive late. Lot's of browsing to be had.

Victoria - Four times a year

Often raided early by Queen collectors that get in and take the goddies. Still worth visiting, especially for bootlegs (shh!) and you can often find some nice things at reasonable prices. There tend to be foreign dealers here (mostly from Holland, America and East Europe) so there is treasure to be found.

Camden - most Saturdays

Just down from the Tube Station, small but can be worthwhile. The dealers change but there tends to be a hard core of regulars. more CD's than Vinyl but it varies.

Olympia - Twice a year

I've only been to this once and found it varied. There were the normal overpriced dealers and a few with nice stock. Hard to get to but makes for a nice browse. There were some dealers here I had never seen before.

Wembley International - Twice a year.

I've only been here once. I found it overpriced to get in and there was nothing apart from one dedicated Queen dealer. Prices were reasonable but some of the dealers got stressed because of the amount of people flowing through. There were a wide range of overseas dealers (French, German) and some autographs and bootlegs. Perhaps it was just a bad time of year?

Overall, I tend to visit Victoria and the London Internation fairs all the time, the others depend on when they are and how much money I have left.
