Services
Transport Auctions of London is a professionally-run, specialist auction house (auctioneers and valuers) dedicated to providing high-quality services to collectors (both buyers and sellers) of transport collectables & memorabilia from all over the UK. A strong element in our sales is material from London Transport and 'Southern' and 'Great Western' main-line rail.
As a reputable auction house, we are on your side when it comes to finding a good home for your precious items and to getting the best possible value for them. The higher the price we obtain for you, the better for us as well, so your best interests and ours are the same. Unless you need to raise cash urgently, you will always do better by bringing your items to auction through us than by accepting a cash offer from a dealer.
Alternatively, you can leave commission bids directly with us in advance and the auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to your limit. There is a reduced buyer's premium of 18% inclusive applicable to successful commission bids. Please be assured: we are scrupulously honest and will never abuse your instructions by using your limit to create fictitious bids.
Collection of items won at auction is by pre-booked appointment from our storeroom in Edenbridge TN8 6HF. The booking page for arrangement of collections is here. NB Our auction house has no connection with this company and we do not endorse it in any way. Any arrangements are made directly between the buyer and their collection agent.
Pre-auction viewing of lots is welcome at our Edenbridge storeroom (Easistore, Enterprise Way, Edenbridge TN8 6HF) by booked appointment only during the week prior to each sale, Monday - Friday, except bank holidays, from 10:00 until 17:00 (last appointment must finish by 17:30). Viewing times are available in 30-minute slots on the hour and half-hour.

DO NOT TRUST THIS AUCTION HOUSE
In 50+ years of collecting, the worst experience at auction by far. Or indeed ever.
One heavy duty cast iron road sign purchased on-line was photographed full-on and described in the catalogue as “with a little damage at the top L/H corner”
On arrival by courier, sign was - additional to the above - badly twisted with a crack at the top centre. It had obviously been severely hit whilst in situ by a passing vehicle and sustained the three lots of damage simultaneously.
TAL replied Catalogue descriptions are by necessity limited as to how much detail can be
