Portobello Road Market

The Portobello Road Market is a street market in Notting Hill. It's in full swing on Fridays and Saturdays.


Start at the Notting Hill Gate station.


The first section of Portobello Road is residential and made up of pastel-colored buildings.


Soon there are shops on the first level with residential above. Stalls are also set up outside of the shops. These are mainly antiques.


I wanted to find the apartment in Hugh Gran's "Notting Hill." I googled it and came up with this blue door.


Right next door was this blue door. There were many people taking pictures in front of it. When I looked at the movie again, neither door looked right. Who knows which is the real door.


The buildings are brightly colored and photogenic.


Towards the northern end of the market, you'll find many food stalls. This paella stall looked good.


Street art by Dotmaster, a UK artist, found in Notting Hill. This one shows a young girl defacing a copy of the Mona Lisa.
