Trip to London

I have recently taken a trip to Portobello
Road which I have been too many times but enjoy it so much I keep going back
for more! Looking through the entire unique and quirky product to try and find something
one off. Here is some more information on the Portobello Market.

Portobello Market in West London is one of
the most famous street markets in the world. It is a populart destination for
Londoners and tourists alike.
Portobello Road goes straight through the
heart of Notting Hill, the trendy area of London made famous by the
film. Indeed, so famous
is the film Notting Hill
that I find scarcely a week goes by without someone or other asking me about
the various set locations: the blue door, the travel bookshop, the garden fence
and so on.
So why do they ask me? Well, because I work
on the market - so now you know that the information here is straight from the
'orses mouf, as the cockneys say - actually I'm really quite posh, but I didn't
want to dispell your image of what a market trader is like!

Portobello Market takes up most of
what is actually more properly called Portobello Road, it stretches for around
two miles, although on a crowded Saturday afternoon it takes quite a while to
walk from end to end.























I walked around London and got carried away
taking pictures of my surroundings so I hope you have time to enjoy them as
much as I did taking them.
