HISTORY OF PORTOBELLO MARKET
Portobello Road
Market in Notting
Hill (located on Portobello Road itself) is unique, vibrant and the
hub of Notting Hill's community and its close neighbouring districts. The
market's distinctive feel owes something, not only to the buildings and
street-scape but also to the shops lining the road-side and of course the wide
variety of communities and individuals who choose to frequent the area. All of
these elements combine to give Portobello Market (sometimes called Notting
Hill Market) the international reputation it deserves, which in turn adds
to its overwhelming commercial success today.
Portobello Road
Market is divided into
three main sections which enables the market to have a broad appeal to a wide
ranging group of people.
- The first part, best described if you are entering from the south side i.e. Notting Hill Gate will introduce you to a magical world full of antiques and collectable items. Here, it is possible to stumble upona huge number of treasures from days gone by. To name but a few, you can find stalls that are specilized in jewellery, furniture and first edition books.
- After this first section of the market comes to an end you might fancy a little something to nibble on in preparation for the third and last part of Portobello market. Specializing in food you’ll be able to find some amazing local food, as well as global classics such as Paella, Churros, Crepes, Sandwiches, Falafel and lots more prepared and un-prepared food products.
