Portobello Road: Any old iron Portobello Market / Notting Hill Review

Portobello Road market is well known, especially sine it appeared in Notting Hill and that other classic, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It's a pretty cool place where you can buy most things on a saturday afternoon - but come in the morning, when more stalls are open. Antiques are big here, but fruit, veg, clothes, gifts, they are all very popular, as are the West Indian stalls selling Jamaican food - Notting Hill, or Ladbroke Grove to be precise, has always been a Caribbean area, long before the trendies moved in.

Address: Portobello Road, Notting Hill

Directions: Notting Hill underground station (Central or Circle or District lines), or Ladbroke Grove station.

Theme: Antiques
