Portobello Road Market Every Saturday Portobello Road Market is overflowing with people perusing through antiques, retro, vintage and second hand shops and the fruit market which is stocked with fresh fruit and flowers.
Portobello Road has the largest antiques market in the world and people come from all over the world to visit it. It's also famous for film locations and music videos and is where 'Bedknobs & Broomsticks' and 'Notting Hill' were filmed.
Go straight down this famous road from Notting Hill, cross over Westbourne Grove and carry on down Portobello Road. Although you will still see many antique shops, restaurants and coffee shops, you'll soon come to an open market selling fresh fruit and veg. There's nothing more enjoyable than visiting Portobello Road market on a Saturday as the entire area is electric and overflowing with people.
There are so many shops and many great bargains to be had especially at the far end of the market under the Westway.
There are many Spanish restaurants and delicatessens near Portobello Road Market and also many trendy boutique shops. Don't forget to visit Portobello Arcade and Thorpe Close which are located under the Westway between Portobello Road and Ladbroke Grove. The entire area is bursting with activity as this is where creative local people rent units to sell their own products in fashionable and trendy units. The Portobello Green Fitness Club is situated here. This is where all the locals from Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove come to keep fit. At the end of Portobello there's a lovely little pet shop on the corner and opposite is a great Spanish restaurant. There's also a huge Spanish school just a few yards away. Portobello has many Spanish and Italian shops and restaurants and Goldbourne Road has mainly Portuguese, Algerian and Moroccan shops and cafes.

During the week the market is full of fresh fruit and veg and food stalls but Saturday is really the best day to come as you can really soak up the atmosphere of this very cosmopolitan area. 
If you feel a bit peckish, you can have a bite to eat or take-away at one of the many shops like King Falafel or the Sausage & Mash shop.
