The last time I went to this place — 2 years ago
Notting Hill is a mixed bag. We found a great shop that was selling used Rugby balls and used cricket balls for a decent price so we got one of each.
But the Portobello Market isn’t anything spectacular. Alot of junk. One dude was selling shoes. He had a sign saying “5 pounds per shoe, Find the matching shoe and get it half off”. I wish got a photo of that.
Then there was one vendor selling just buttons. These buttons were not cheap 3 pounds for 6 buttons? With conversion (2:1) that comes to $1 per button.
There’s alot of vendors selling flowers and fruit.
Portobello Market is much better for people watching than actually buying stuff.
Don’t feel like it’s necessary to go to the Portobello Market if you’re visiting London.
