The area is charming and its easy to find a nice place to eat and drink, but the market is overrated. Not that much antiques, more old crap.

Antiques, clothes and fruits of portobello 4th September 2008

0 found this helpful

Portobello is a unique place where people can finds things such as; antiques, brand new, second hand and vintage clothes, sunglasses fruits, gadgets, g-stings with English flag on etc..
I usually go down there to get fruits at crazy prices. English strawberries at 50p you cant say no, can you?
It is on Friday and Saturdays. People serve Spanish food and nice bakeries are also available.
Bear in mind that the place is visited by thousands of tourists and might be difficult to walk through people at midday so better go there after 3. plus you’ll be hunting special fruits deals at that time too.

Lets go 22nd August 2008

We arrived on Portabello Road @ 8:30 and it was already packed with people. If you like antiques and quirky little shops plan on spending 3+ hours minimum. My wife has a small attention span for this type of shopping, so that was our limit. If I had more time and another Saturday I'd visit again. Antiques that you don't see in anywhere else. They seemed to have great deals on antique flat/silver ware. This is a market not to be missed. *you pass George Orwell's house(on the right from the tube, look for the blue marker) as you enter the Market area.

The Best Market in London 16th March 2008

Portobello is not the cheapest or biggest market in london, but the Ladbroke Grove end is, in my opinion, the best. Vintage clothes are a plenty and not really cheap/ not very good quality that you often find in street markets, there are established dealers who sell a variety of quite normal things like sweatshirts and dresses as well as ball gowns and space suit style jump suits and military uniform. The bag and boot stall is a high light, though again, not cheap, all the boots and bags are very good quality leather of all shapes an sizes and some of the bags are genuine vintage designers. As well as clothes there is antique ewellery and records as well as a variety of world food from Brazilian to Malaysian at reasonable prices. Its a lively place as you walk down you hear and see everything from punk baby clothes, 50s childrens songs, drum and bass to £200 fur coats, mozart and mulled wine.
