    What is Portobello Road famous for?

    Antiques & Miscellaneous objects

    This is the main attraction of Portobello Road Market with 100’s of market stalls. Located near Notting Hill tube station; in this part of the market you will find vintage teacups and small vases, compositions of feathers or wax flowers under glass domes, porcelain figurines, old paintings or even old photographs of London (and random people) in stand-up frames, and so on.

    Where: Chepstow Villas – Elgin Crescent

    When: Saturday is main antiques trading day and trading generally starts around 8:30-9:00am. We would recommend arriving before 11:30am to avoid the crowds.

    Fruits & Vegetables

    Where: From Elgin Crescent to Talbot Road

    In this part of Portobello Road Market you will find a few bread stalls, cakes, fresh fish and a cheese stall. But, the most iconic stalls are the ones selling fresh fruits and vegetables. Originally all the products came from different regions in the UK but now you can also find some exotic fruits.

    On Friday and Saturday – you can also find baked products, oils, olives, gourmet cheeses, meat, seafood and other delicatessen items.

    Cheap things & Electronics

    Where: From Talbot Road to Westway

    We think that this is not the most exciting part of the market, but it’s convenient if you need some batteries or a new charger for your phone or camera!

    Fashion Market

    Where: Westway Area

    Vintage bags, lace and fur coats, some cool t-shirts, shoes… This is what Londoners know as the “Fashion Market”. There are some really cool clothes here. From second hand clothes to some small stalls where young new designers sell their new creations.

    Used & Vintage Goods

    Where: From Westway to Golbourne Road

    Although we wouldn’t recommend buying a vintage desk or a chair while you visit London… unless you have a plan to bring it home with you… here you will find used and vintage furniture and different objects to decorate your home.

    Street Food

    On Friday and Saturday you will find hot food stalls where you can get from a traditional Fish & Chips to Sausages, Spanish Paella, or even some Caribbean dishes. Basically, it’s like travelling around the world in under 10 minutes.
