Portobello Road Market: Antiques to Street Food

Notting Hill’s famous market runs most days, but the big antiques scene is Friday and Saturday. Go early, browse slowly, and detour to side streets for colour-drenched terraces.

Ways to Do It

• Antiques arcades: Cabinets of curiosities, silver, maps and vintage cameras.
• Fashion & food: Independent designers, world snacks and coffee carts.
• Photography: Doors and pastel houses off the main drag.

Tips

Bring cash for small purchases; some stalls accept cards. Weekdays feel local; Saturdays are the spectacle.
