Portobello Road Market
Portobello Road has one of the most famous street markets in the world and is home to one of the UK’s most diverse communities. It has a rich history dating back to the 19th century with millions of visitors visiting the market each year. The market stalls stretch for a mile all the way down Portobello Road and round the corner into Golborne Road. Whether you are just out for a stroll, people watch, looking for a bargain or out to grab a bite to eat, Portobello Road is a great place to spend your time exploring.
Yes yes, that bookshop! But the Notting Hill Bookshop is much more than just a location in a film. It's a cosy, brilliantly stocked bookshop with knowledgeable staff who always give great recommendations.
Founded in 2009 by literary agents Sarah Lutyens and Felicity Rubinstein, they sell fiction and general non-fiction with special sections for children’s books, poetry and art books. A lovely, calm space where you can easily while away an afternoon!
