History of Adams Antiques Fairs

Matthew Adams studied Costume & Theatre Design at Central School of Art in the mid-1970s. He started selling antiques and vintage fashion in 1979 at the the now defunct Swiss Cottage Market and by 1980 had set up the thriving Stables Market in London's Camden Lock. In between dealing in antiques, textiles and vintage fashion both in London and America, he has been running antiques, vintage fashion and retro events in London ever since and is by far the most successful and longest running one-day fairs organiser in central London. Along with the world famous monthly antiques fair at the Royal Horticultural Hall, Matthew also runs the fabulous Frock Me! vintage fashion fair and the forthcoming Memory Lane vintage, retro & nostalgia fair.
