Carrie Johnson offered an insight into her shopping habits today as she headed to an early morning antique market.

The doting mother of two, who married Boris Johnson last year, posted a number of clips and photographs on her Instagram page this morning as she visited Sunbury Antiques Market at Kempton Park Racecourse.

Carrie posted a snap as she picked up a toy car for her young son Wilf, as well as studying antique carpets and an abacus set for her little ones.

It comes after reports she and Boris are set to become the newest members of the Fulham set after looking for a property close to the river in South-West London.

The couple – who have two children, Wilf, two, and Romy, one – have been looking to put down roots in the capital and were previously rumoured to have been searching for a property in Herne Hill in South London.

However they are reportedly now looking in Fulham.

Similar properties in the area – which boasts outstanding schools and upmarket restaurants – go for more than £4 million.

Carrie has many friends there and grew up in nearby East Sheen, where her mother still lives. Local celebrities include actors Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Boris is making a lot of money on the speaking circuit, earning £276,000 from a speech to the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers in Colorado Springs in October.

The couple are staying in a rented home, having accepted £10,000 of accommodation from the Bamford family last month.

It brings the total figure of the family’s support for the former Prime Minister to £50,000 since he left office this summer.

Boris part-owns three homes in Oxfordshire, London and Somerset.

He and Carrie have put the home they owned in Camberwell, South London, on the market for £1.6 million and it was under offer earlier this year.

Meanwhile another bargain Carrie picked up at the market was an Abacus toy set with different vehicles

The couple bought the four-bedroom Victorian semi in July 2019 as Boris became Prime Minister.

They made the purchase after having to leave their flat nearby when neighbours called the police after reports of explosive rows.

However, the Johnsons have spent no time there after moving into Downing Street. The couple stand to make about £400,000 if they get the asking price for the house, bought for £1.2 million.

The register of MPs’ interests says Mr Johnson enjoyed a rental income of at least £10,000 a year.

Sharing the snaps on her Instagram page, Carrie said the ‘early bird catches the worm’ as she hunted for bargains

The house was said to have been paid for with a buy-to-let mortgage. Neighbours said it had been empty for almost a year and on the market for several months before the sale.

Hostile posters quickly appeared nearby, while neighbours complained about the prospect of Mr Johnson moving in.

In May this year, a car crashed into the house in the early hours of the morning.

Last week, the couple celebrated their daughter Romy’s first birthday, with Carrie going on to share a number of snaps from the event.

Snaps shared on Carrie’s Instagram showed Romy looking eagerly at her birthday cake, and opening a mountain of presents. Another snap showed the little girl riding a small tricycle around the house.
