We are staying in a flat in Notting Hill and are arriving early on a Saturday morning. So, jet-lag be damned - we are heading to PORTOBELLO MARKET!!!! The entire market is open only on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, so Saturday will be our only day to go.
A picture of the "blue door" flat from the movie, "Notting Hill." It actually exists!
And there actually IS a bookshop too:
Portobello Road goes straight through Notting Hill, and Portobello Market is one of the most famous street markets in the world. It stretches nearly 2 miles, and on Saturdays can be a zoo! But, it is so much fun! There is booth after booth of antiques, vintage bags, flowers, fruits and vegetables, fashion etc. It just is mind boggling how much there is to offer!
They open early and begin shutting down around 4PM.
Portobello Market in West London is one of the most famous street markets in the world.
