Portobello Market is a world-famous antiques and goods market located in the trendy neighborhood of Notting Hill. In fact, it is the largest antiques market in the world, boasting over a kilometer of stalls selling everything from furniture and jewelry to stamps and posters. The market became famous for its antiques in the 1950s, although it has since grown to encompass other merchandise and now provides fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, clothing, ceramics, music and food, among other things. The market is at its best on Fridays and Saturdays, although a smaller market is open throughout the week from Monday to Thursday. It can be found along the iconic Portobello Road, which has been made famous by films like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and is easily accessible from Notting Hill Gate, Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park tube stations. After dedicating a morning to exploring the market, it is definitely worth wandering about the wider Notting Hill area. Known for its quaint streets and pastel-colored houses, this neighborhood is one of London's most recognizable. Although it is best known for its market, it also plays host to the world's second largest carnival in August every year. The Notting Hill Carnival features a distinctly Caribbean theme and comprises parades, floats, performers dressed in colorful outfits, Calypso music and delicious food. If you are a fan of the 1999 romantic comedy film Notting Hill, it might be worth taking a film tour of the neighborhood, during which you will learn about the crucial places where filming took place.
