Used greenhouses in London, England typically sell for £60 to £400 (about $81 to $540). Greenhouses are worth good money and are genuinely dangerous to dismantle — older ones are glazed with horticultural glass that breaks into blades, and the buyer needs telling before they arrive.
Selling a greenhouse in London
Rental tenancies here turn over faster than anywhere else in the UK, and a tenancy ending usually means an entire flat being cleared in a week. Add several hundred thousand students across dozens of institutions and the supply is effectively continuous.
Most small handovers happen at a station, because almost everyone is on the Tube or the rail network and almost nobody wants to drive. Driving into the centre means the congestion charge, the ULEZ and somewhere to park, so for anything you can carry, agree a station and a time. Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
Ask which floor the item is on and whether there is a lift before you agree a price. A great deal of London housing is walk-up, and a wardrobe on the fourth floor is a different proposition from the same wardrobe on the ground.
London, in England, has around 8.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in London
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands. Around Camden, Brick Lane and Peckham are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
What greenhouses are worth
What lifts the price
- Complete with door, vents and all fixings
- A base or foundation frame included
What pulls it down
- Broken and missing panes

- Check the frame is square and not twisted
Getting it ready

- Check the door runs, the vent openers, and whether the base or anchor kit is included.

Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
What sort of glass is it?
Answer specifically. Horticultural glass is thin, unedged and breaks into long shards; toughened glass and polycarbonate are far safer to handle. Buyers with experience always ask this first.
