The bustling streets of London are home to some of the most iconic markets in the world. One of the most famous is the Portobello Market, located in the Notting Hill area of London. This vibrant market is filled with antiques, vintage clothing, and a variety of other items. It is also a great place to find unique souvenirs and gifts.
Portobello Green has a market that mostly sells vintage clothing and other items. The market is located on Portobello Road and Golborne Roads. Every Sunday, Columbia Road is filled with buckets of beautiful flowers from 8am to 3pm. Here, merchants line the narrow street selling flowers, houseplants, herbs, bulbs, and shrubs.
The colorful silver, red, blue, green, and white blinds are painted with graffiti everywhere, making the Portobello Road market urban, lively, and vibrant. Southern Portobello Road is home to antiques while the middle of the market has food, new fashion, accessories, and household items. North Portobello is where you can find vintage clothing and accessories as well as collectibles and bric-a-brac. Golborne Road is where you can find bric-a-brac, furniture, and food.
The most famous stalls, stores, and game rooms are The Portobello Antique Store, Alice's, Judy Fox Antiques London, and The Portobello Print & Map Shop. Visit the Saturday Style Market for your dose of indie fashion or get a bargain at the Spitalfields art market. Another British market that you should visit is Camden Market which is full of British culture. Known as the place where teenagers, punks, and eager creatives hang out, Camden Market is a must-see in London if you want to experience an energetic and engaging counterculture.
After the pandemic hit London, it was quite surprising that the Portobello Road market wasn't as busy as before due to the lack of stalls in the middle of the street. However, this meow still has cobblestones and little houses (including the rose one), away from the hustle and bustle of the Portobello market. The iconic London market stalls are full of English character as they are full of fruit and vegetables. Antique game rooms can be found on Westbourne Grove while antique stalls can be found between Portobello Road and Kensington Park Road.
Portobello Green has more new fashion than vintage fashion on Fridays while The Saturday Style Market offers indie fashion. If you're looking for souvenirs or gifts from your trip to London then look no further than Portobello Market! With more than 1000 merchants selling antiques and assortments, it's one of the largest antique markets in the world. You'll be sure to find something unique that you won't find anywhere else.
