Portobello Market
London, west of the city, Portobello Road
Description:
Portobello is a large pedestrian street in Notting Hill in west London.
It is here that one of the favorite places for tourists and Londoners themselves is Portobello Market.
This is an amazing mixture of flea market, arcades of small boutiques, shops. Probably, you can compare this attraction of the capital of Great Britain with the Moscow Arbat or Odessa Privoz.
In Portobello there is always an atmosphere of some joyful fun, a holiday. Merchants will never impose their goods on you, but they will gladly communicate on any topic. By the way, here you can hear not only Russian speech, but also the languages of the former peoples of the Soviet Union. Very cosmopolitan and food in restaurants and cafes.
Guest Portobello market will attract primarily an abundance of beautiful and original products. Having plunged headlong into the process of searching for rare things, you can always fish out some vintage treasure. But it's not five minutes. In a leisurely walk, you can spend the whole day unnoticed: the benefit of cozy places where you can relax and have a snack is enough. This is a real city in the city!
By the way, Notting Hill brought fame to the eponymous romantic comedy with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant: here you will see the house in which the main character lived, and the bookstore, where the world-famous story began.
