London's Portabello Market


Protabello Rd


Quintessential English china

Anything goes...

When I was living in London my Saturdays' consisted of a  ten minute walk down to Notting Hill for a good catch up with  friends on the weeks events over brunch. After a very lazy breakfast; many lattes and people watching we would  casually stroll down to Portabello's market which, by then was buzzing with  people everywhere. Locals pretty much doing the same as us and many tourists checking out the local landmarks; the market with its exotic fruit, antiques and fun items of clothing. You can't miss the great global mix of aromas  food stalls have to offer ranging  Caribbean, French, Mexican and Turkish whilst funky music is blurring out from various cds stalls.I love Notting Hill for the eclectic mix of people, food and  independent shops with a great buzz of creativity everywhere :-)
