We’re back, with another Vintage Market at the Mansion at Beckenham Place Park to round-off the summer on the August Bank HolidayIf you’ve been before, you’ll know the Market hosts around 50 of the best vintage traders you’ll find anywhere. Lots are London-based, but some travel from as far away as Dorset and Lincoln to be here!
Outside and inside the Mansion you can expect to find mid 20th century furniture, lighting, homeware and ceramics, original posters, prints, books, records, antique maps and charts, brocante, salvage, vintage clothing, and lots more.
Most traders take card payments, and will deliver locally if you want to buy something big, like an armchair!
There’ll be delicious street food outside, including tasty burritos, tacos and quesadillas by Route 66, irresistible savoury and sweet crepes by Sarrasin mouthwatering bao buns by You Bao, freshly cooked fish & chips by FishMyChips excellent coffee by Beats & Grind and amazing brownies by Slate ‘n’ Crumb.
In addition, the excellent Mansion Bar and Cafe will be serving craft beer amongst other drinks, and delicious lunchtime food.
Our resident Market band, The Alvar Treefrogs, will be back with us, busking with New Orleans jazz on the grass at the back of the Mansion.

The car park has a limited number of spaces. Paying to park is cashless and by the PayByPhone app only. Charges are complex and based on the emissions of your vehicle. If you still prefer to arrive by car we advise avoiding the busiest period (11am-2pm). Note that vehicle entry is only via the Beckenham Hill Road entrance (Sat Nav: BR3 1SY) opposite the Church of St Augustine. If your GPS takes you elsewhere, try SE6 3PU instead, or use ///follow.skinny.fade
We recommend using the cheaper St George’s Road car park, near to Beckenham Junction Station, just a 12 minute walk away. Alternatively, there’s some on-street parking close to the Downham entrance on Old Bromley Road (Sat Nav: BR1 4LE) and near to Ravensbourne Station, (Sat Nav: BR3 5HE). Please respect local residents and other road users, and park considerately.
The Mansion is an enjoyable 15 minute stroll across the Park from both these entrances.
