Portobello Market
You'll come across some quirky finds in this vibrant and busy market!
"Aptly named 'Notting Hill' (1999) starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts was set and partly filmed in Notting Hill, greatly increasing the area's popularity with tourists looking for a slice of the romance."
Just a short distance from Queen's Park, Kensal Green is well connected and known for its independent amenities, adding to its fashionable appeal.
Oliver Browne
Lively and lined with trendy independent shops, bars and restaurants, it's no wonder that Portobello Road is so popular!
David Roberts
From jewellery to dresses, Portobello Market has it all...
