Situated in North London, only 5 miles from the centre of the capital, Alexandra Palace is one of London’s most prestigious and historical venues. Surrounded by it’s own park of some 196 acres, the Palace offers visitors magnificent panoramic views of Londons skyline and is famous for its attractions, such as the ice rink and boating lake.
The Palace has had a rich and eventful history. Originally opened in 1873, as the “Peoples Palace”, it quickly became popular providing special events for thousands of visitors. In 1935, the BBC leased the eastern part of the Palace and the first public TV transmissions were made in 1936.
Over the past 25 years, the Antique and Collectors fairs have attracted dealers and collectors from around the globe, making these events some of the most prestigious in the Antique calendar.
With capacity for over 600 separate dealers, handling a vast range of products, including porcelain and china, furniture and objet d'art, medals, toys and many, many more items.
There is also our Antiques Valuation Roadshow, offering free valuations and appraisals of your products and our Antique Restoration Workshop, where leading craftsmen will demonstrate how to keep you antiquities on order.
