Overview
Portobello Road opens early on Saturday. Start at the Notting Hill end for upscale offerings, and expect to get decent deals due to the low overhead at the 2,000 or more stalls. The market strings out a long way down the hill and the lower the elevation the lower the prices and quality. If you are in London the last weekend in August, shop until about noon and then boogie down the street with the mobs that pack in for the biggest Carnival this side of Rio. Those who like loud music, wild costumes, and “party hearty” find heaven here. Get there very early, even before opening, as antique dealers swoop through and high-grade off the goodies.
Nearest underground: Notting Hill Gate
Hours: Monday to Friday 9:30 – 4:00 pm, closed Thursday afternoon, Saturdays 8:00- 5:00 pm. |
