Located at 27 New St on the Barbican, Parade Antiques has been operating since 1997 in an early 18th-century warehouse. The premises cover around 260 square metres on the ground floor, housing over 60 cabinets and stalls managed by roughly 40 dealers. It functions as both a specialty vintage shop and an art gallery showcasing works by independent local artists. The layout gives it the atmosphere of a curios museum, where visitors can browse items across a wide range of eras.
