Reasons to go
Full description
Running through the colorful houses of Notting Hill, Portobello Road is best known for its antiques trade, though the market broadens on Saturdays into vintage fashion, bric-a-brac, and street food stretching over a mile of stalls. A near-perfect must-see score confirms its place as a must-visit for most London itineraries, while the moderate local score suggests it draws a healthy mix of residents and tourists rather than being purely one or the other.
Reviewers describe the energy and variety as the main appeal, with vintage clothing and antiques cited most often as highlights. Morning visits are recommended both to beat crowds and to catch the best selection before popular stalls sell out.

a wonderful place to visit with a great atmosphere and plenty to see. Everything was well organized, and the experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend visiting in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed experience.
