More than 100 vintage traders, 1920s-1990s vehicles, live DJs and street food vendors are coming to King’s Cross in London for the Classic Car Boot Sale on 18-19 April 2026.
Held over three public spaces – Granary Square, Lewis Cubitt Square and Coal Drops Yard – the event champions sustainable fashion and reuse culture.
The weekend will be headlined by a tribute to the Ford Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac, known colloquially as the carbuilder’s ‘Three Graces’. Launched in the 1950s, these nameplates represent early examples of mass-produced British cars to feature independent front suspension.
While built in the UK, the Three Graces took inspiration from post-war American models, with styling features such as tailfins and chrome detailing. They also left an impression on popular culture thanks to movie and TV cameos in The Italian Job and The Sweeney. The Classic Car Boot Sale will celebrate these machines with a display by the Canal Side Steps on Granary Square.
The Viva Drivers Club, meanwhile, marks its 20th anniversary at the event, with owners travelling from as far afield as Lincoln and Devon. A long-time supporter of the Classic Car Boot Sale, the club will also be raising funds for charity as well as joining the many exhibitors and visitors who embrace the weekend’s era-defining dress code.
Fans of vintage clothing, books, music and jewellery can browse the weekend’s ever-popular Suitcase Sale, where micro-collections of curiosities are traded directly from well-travelled cases. It’s a format that suits both spring-clearout sellers and those offering tightly curated vintage finds.
Once visitors are finished perusing the stalls, they can witness Mods and Rockers ride-ins and enjoy live performances in Lewis Cubitt Square from Eddie’s Love Bus and The Gaz Man.
‘The Classic Car Boot Sale is all about celebrating great design, individuality and creativity from the cars and fashion to the music,’ said event co-founder Wayne Hemingway. ‘It’s a proper cultural day out, and for around the price of a couple of coffees, you get a full day of classic cars, music, head-turning design and the best display of enduring and evolving British street style.’
The Classic Car Boot Sale is open from 10am to 6pm on 18-19 April 2026. For tickets and more information, click here.
