Portobello Market

Wednesday, 11th of May 2016

When the weather is as good as its been the last few days, you just have to enjoy it to the fullest and go for a walk. There are many wonderful things to see here in London, and I have just come to realize that, although I have seen quite a few, I have not nearly done half of the things that I want.

I have been trying to maximize my days, especially since the sun is out and the internet is not in my house, by trying to get to know the city I am living in, so I decided to join in to one of the weekend tradition´s here: the Portobello Market.

The Portobello Market is in West London, going straight through the centre of Notting Hill, taking up most of what is called Portobello Road, which on a saturday afternoon takes a while to walk from one side to the other due to the amount of people there.

This market is one of the most famous street markets in London, where both londoners and tourists like to walk by.

You have a variety of products being sold, such as clothes, vintage cameras, street food, vynil disks, Notting Hill merchandise and many more.

It is quite a merry area, you can always count on a lively environment, with delicious smells coming from the bakeries, pubs or street stalls and live music being played through the all way.

It is a wonderful way to spend your saturday afternoon.
