Portobello Road Market

Portobello Road Market  began as a fresh-food market in the nineteenth century; antiques dealers arrived in the 1960s.

The main market day is  Saturday. You may find there all kind of antiques.

However, there are also fruit and vegetable stalls in the market, which trade throughout the week and are located further north than the antiques, near the Westway Flyover.

 The market area is about 3,080 feet (0.58 miles or 940 metres) long.

Portobello Road Market is a must for tourists!

Great shots, Edite. I haven't been there for many years. It looks like you picked a cold day to walk round. Typical british weather:)

I like street shops. They lovely and sometimes in them it is possible to find real brilliants of art. And I like the sellers in streets. They are always very sociable and like to talk:) In supermarkets to not find similar charm. Remarkable photos.
