London Markets: Portobello Road

On Saturdays there are three markets in one: the antique section is in
the south between Chepstow Villas and Coleville Road (the Notting Hill
Gate end); a fruit and vegetable market in the middle, runs from Coleville
Road to Westway; and at the north end of the market you will find records,
books, jewellery and trendy clothes, both new and second hand, along with
a flea market.

There are said to be over 1,500 antique dealers here! This is an extremely
popular location for tourists and locals alike, so be warned, it is a
prime spot for pickpockets. There are lots of good pubs and cafes nearby
where you can get refreshments after a hard day shopping.

It's obviously in Portobello Road, London W11 (underground: Notting
Hill), open Fridays and Saturdays 8am to 3pm. You can also check out info

Next month: Brixton Market
