portobello road

20 March 2014

Sundays on Portobello Road are a lot less hectic and people packed than Saturdays. The market is closed, but there are still plenty of interesting shops selling antique goods and vintage treasures, cocooned by the famously colourful walls.

Although there aren't many street food vendors out on a Sunday, there are plenty of good places to eat and drink in the area (we popped into Honest Burgers, a review will be up shortly!), as well as tempting crêpe stands and the ever popular Hummingbird Bakery.

If you're visiting London or are in the area (particularly on a sunny day, as with all places), it's a must-see spot and great for street photography.

    Adorable. This is why London will always be one of my favorite cities. It's a bit more eclectic but I also love the markets in Camden Town. :)

    Love Portobello road. It's such a beautiful part of London. My ex boyfriend and I went a couple of years ago for my Birthday and had such a lovely time in the area. We went to a stunning little restaurant for lunch where there was a deal for pizza and a glass of wine for £10, such a bargain and was so delicious! It was such hot weather too, around the end of May... I haven't been since but these photos are making me want to go back.

    This looks so so so so fun. I love markets/open air vendors like this and the colors are just stunning. The jewelry! The books! I need them! Also that antique store looks PERFECT.

    I've not been to Portobello market for years! Probably 10 years, isn't that awful! It's such a interesting place though and I love the colours. Must go again soon :)

    Ahh, I went so many years ago (more than I would care to mention), and this post has triggered some great memories! I love the photographs too, captures it so well!

    Love Portobello road on a Sunday, so much more relaxed, and like you say places to see/eat.

    Did you go into the live music tent down at the bottom? Well I say tent, more of a room under the flyover bridge!

    I love Portobello Road but it's true that when it's too busy it's impossible enjoy a nice little walk there or take a photo of the colourful houses without someone photobombing! Apart from that, it's such a dreamy area :) xx
