The 102nd Chelsea Antiques Fair

Event: The 102nd Chelsea Antiques Fair
Date: September 18th to 22nd 2008

Whether a hardened bargain hunter or simply a curious browser, a day at the Chelsea Antiques Fair is a great way to escape the bustle of modern life in London.

Running for four days in September, the event is renowned for its specialisation in antique furniture - some of which is four centuries old.

All the action takes place at Chelsea's Old Town Hall, located close to luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace.

If planning to splash out on a classic piece at the antiques show, it might be worth taking up the hotel's Get More From Your Stay offer. The deal includes a bottle of chilled champagne on arrival for guests - perfect for toasting a great purchase.

This year will be the 102nd edition of the fair since its inception in 1950. Last year saw around 30 of the country's leading experts select treasures from places ranging from imperial Russia to the opulent Orient.
