Portobello Road Market

Long market street in Notting Hill, antiques on Saturdays, otherwise fruit and everyday goods.

90 min£

The street runs for several kilometres through Notting Hill and changes character along the way: first antiques and silver, then fruit and vegetables, and under the Westway flyover clothes and bric-a-brac. On either side stand the colourful terraced houses familiar from films. If you want to buy something, feel free to haggle over the price at the antiques stalls. For a break, try the cafés on Golborne Road at the northern end.

Background

Portobello Road is a street in the Notting Hill district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in West London. It runs almost the length of Notting Hill from South to North, roughly parallel with Ladbroke Grove. On Saturdays it is home to Portobello Road Market, one of London's notable street markets, known for its second-hand clothes, pastries and antiques. Every August since 1996, the Portobello Film Festival has been held in locations around Portobello Road and, in 2015, Portobello Radio was founded as the area's community radio station.
