Portobello Road Market: A Must-Visit in London Every Saturday!
Every Saturday, Portobello Road in Notting Hill comes alive with quirky vendors and treasure hunters—it’s become my go-to spot for weekend adventures (and maybe scoring a bargain... or not 😉). 📅 Market Days: Main market day: Saturday (almost all stalls open). Some stalls also operate Mon–Fri. ⏰ Hours: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (some pack up by 4:00 PM). 🚇 Getting There: Notting Hill Gate (Central/Circle/District lines). Ladbroke Grove (closer to the market’s north end, with tons of food options!). Highlights ✨ 1️⃣ The Hirst Collection (W11 3HG): A tiny vintage jewelry and silverware shop near Notting Hill Gate, organized by color—so aesthetically pleasing! 📸 Photo Ops: The pastel-colored houses in nearby side streets. The Travel Book Co. (W11 2DZ): The Notting Hill movie’s iconic bookstore (now a travel souvenir shop). Pro Tips 💡 💰 Bring cash—some small vendors add card fees. 👜 Watch your belongings (weekends get crowded!). #PortobelloMarket #NottingHill #LondonMarkets #VintageShopping #LondonLife
