The best flea markets in Singapore are not in the air-conditioned malls on Orchard Road. They sit in the basements of older buildings, in revitalised warehouse districts, and in industrial estates where vintage furniture hunters, vinyl collectors, and bargain shoppers converge on weekends. Singapore’s vintage scene has grown considerably in recent years.
This guide covers the active flea markets and the best vintage stores in the city — updated to reflect what is open now.

China Square Central Weekend Flea Market
A veteran of the Singapore flea market scene. China Square Central runs every Sunday with more than 60 vendors selling antiques, collectibles, records, vintage toys, watches, 1980s posters, and gramophone records. The air-conditioned setting makes it viable year-round. Comic collectors should head to Level 2 for current issues and action figure collectibles. Hard-to-find items at low prices reward patient browsers.
💰 Price range: $5–$30
📍 Where: China Square Central, Level 1 & 2, 18 Cross Street

For Flea Sake
Singapore’s most prolific flea market organiser, with regular and one-off bazaars across the city.

Flea Fly Flo Fun
Running since 2006, Flea Fly Flo Fun is Singapore’s self-described “indie-eclec-tric” flea market.

MAAD brings together painters, jewellers, product designers, visual artists, and writers on the first or second Friday of each month, from 17:00 to midnight. The stock covers small objects, paintings, jewellery, artisanal postcards, fashion, crafts, literature, photography, and furniture. It is the right market for those who want locally made goods directly from the makers.

Zouk Flea & Easy
Four times a year, Zouk — one of Singapore’s most iconic nightclubs — opens its doors by day for a flea market. Around 70 stalls offer pre-loved clothing, vintage accessories, and collectibles. It attracts the same crowd that dances there at night, returning in daylight to browse rather than dance. Check Zouk’s social channels for current dates.
💰 Price range: $10–$40
📍 Where: Zouk Club, 17 Jiak Kim Street
🌐 Web: zoukclub.com
Sungei Road Thieves’ Market ⚠️ Discontinued
Singapore’s oldest and most legendary flea market — named for its history as a place where contraband and secondhand goods changed hands side by side. Retro watches, typewriters, Russian dolls, disco balls, and old mobile phones piled on mats along Jalan Besar. It closed permanently in 2017 when the government cleared the site for redevelopment. It is included here for reference and for the many visitors who still search for it.
Vintage Furniture Stores in Singapore
Beyond the flea markets, Singapore has a strong network of vintage and antique furniture stores — most concentrated in industrial estates and warehouse districts outside the city centre. What follows are the most established.
Noden — Henderson Building
Singapore’s most respected vintage Scandinavian furniture store, founded in 2013 by Marko and Tawan. Noden specialises in original Danish and Scandinavian Modern design from the 1940s–1960s — Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, and other mid-century classics, sourced from auctions and collectors and restored in-house. All pieces are authenticated. Stock sells out fast and changes with each new collection launch.
📍 Where: 211 Henderson Road, #02-02, Henderson Building, Singapore 159552
🕐 Hours: Wednesday–Friday 11:00–17:00 | Saturday–Sunday 11:00–18:00
🌐 Web: nodenhome.com
Lorgan’s — Paya Lebar
One of Singapore’s most established vintage furniture and decor stores, with a strong reputation for pre-loved retro pieces and Scandinavian modern-classic reproductions. Lorgan’s offers accessible quality vintage design — their “design within reach” philosophy keeps pieces more affordable than high-end showrooms. A good first stop for newcomers to vintage furniture in Singapore.
📍 Where: 160 Paya Lebar Rd, #02-07, Orion @ Paya Lebar, Singapore 409022
🕐 Hours: Monday, Wednesday–Sunday 10:30–18:00
🌐 Web: @lorgans on Instagram
Hock Siong & Co
Specialising in recycled hotel, retail, and industrial furniture, Hock Siong & Co is entirely stock-dependent — what you find depends entirely on recent arrivals. A piece of Art Deco hotel lobby furniture one week; a modern commercial shop-fit the next. The turnover is fast and the fan base is loyal. Follow their Facebook page for updates on new stock before making the trip.
📍 Where: 153 Kampong Ampat, Junjie Industrial Building #01-03, 386326
🕐 Hours: Monday–Sunday 09:00–18:30
🌐 Web: facebook.com/hocksiongco
Things Your Mother Throw (TYMT)
A creative and research studio that restores and adapts vintage furniture with roots in British and Dutch colonial design from the Nusantara region, blended with Southeast Asian post-war mid-century influences. Each piece is restored and given new life rather than simply resold. TYMT also produces handmade ceramic tiles and offers bespoke restoration services.
“Taking the cue from the British and Dutch furniture designs during the colonial times in the Nusantara region and the influences from the indigenous and migrant communities in the Southeast Asian region, TYMT intends to distill through its furniture a sense of what it was like to live during the sedately colonial times and the tumultuous post-war mid-20th century in Southeast Asia.”
📍 Where: 1092 Lower Delta Road, #02-16, Singapore 169203
🕐 Hours: Saturday–Sunday 11:00–18:00 | Wednesday–Friday by appointment
🌐 Web: tymt.net
ReStore Living
A specialist restoration and vintage furniture shop on Tanjong Pagar Road. ReStore only accepts quality pieces — good wood, sound structure — and brings them back to excellent condition through polishing, wood restoration, and re-upholstery. The result is consistently impressive. The shop also serves freshly brewed coffee and homemade waffles, which makes it a more enjoyable browse than most.
📍 Where: 124 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088533
🕐 Hours: Tuesday–Saturday 11:00–19:00 | Sunday 12:00–17:00 | Closed Monday
🌐 Web: facebook.com/Restoreliving
Gamar Furniture (formerly Second Charm)
The store formerly known as Second Charm has rebranded as Gamar Furniture, continuing to specialise in Scandinavian, mid-century, retro, and industrial design with a mix of bespoke pieces, vintage restorations, and pre-loved finds. Upholstery and restoration services are available. Most items can be customised to fit specific spaces. Prices are reasonable for the quality on offer.
Mad About Vintage
Founded by a former corporate professional who quit to pursue vintage sourcing full-time. Mad About Vintage offers a useful feature: if you see something on the website that interests you, you can reserve it online before visiting the shop. Given that most locations in this sector require a trip to an industrial estate on the far side of the city, that option saves a wasted journey. Appointment required — contact Han at 9155 1337 to confirm date and time.
📍 Where: By appointment — contact for current location

Art from Junk
A home-based studio that hand-paints recycled and secondhand furniture with colourful retro and vintage-inspired designs drawn from Singapore and Southeast Asian graphic traditions. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Viewings are by appointment only — weekdays from 19:00 to 21:00, and on weekends.
📍 Where: Jalan Rumah Tinggi, Bukit Merah area — by appointment
📞 Contact: 9112 6264 or [email protected]

FAQ: Flea Markets in Singapore
What is the best flea market in Singapore?
China Square Central Weekend Flea Market is the most reliable for antiques and collectibles — over 60 vendors every Sunday in an air-conditioned setting. For fashion and vintage clothing, For Flea Sake runs regular bazaars across the city. For a more alternative, community-driven experience, Flea Fly Flo Fun at Home Club runs twice a month with live music alongside the stalls.
Is the Sungei Road Thieves’ Market still open?
No. The Sungei Road Thieves’ Market closed permanently in 2017 when the government cleared the site for redevelopment. It was Singapore’s oldest flea market, operating since the 1930s. It is not replaced by a direct equivalent — China Square Central and Flea Fly Flo Fun are the closest active alternatives for a similar secondhand experience.
Where can I find vintage furniture in Singapore?
Noden at Henderson Building is the best source for authenticated vintage Scandinavian design. Lorgan’s in Paya Lebar covers a broader range at more accessible prices. Hock Siong & Co specialises in recycled commercial and hotel furniture. ReStore Living on Tanjong Pagar Road offers professionally restored pieces with coffee on site. Most vintage stores in Singapore are in industrial estates — check Facebook and Instagram pages before visiting to confirm current stock and hours.
