Oh my goodness…I bought so many wonderful things in Portobello market while living in London in the early 90’s. I was so happy to see the Tea Pot hanging up on a stall. Thank you so much for this video. It brought back many happy memories. 😍

fantastic, such a variety down there of things to buy. I worked on the street in the early 90's and it still has it's character from then. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

@Oxford322 Год назад

I went to see this my first London visit ; was SO EXCITED but only saw lots of old clothes! And junk! I was so disappointed bc I had even chosen to stay near the portobello road . I now see you have an entire antiques area. Going back July 1 and def gonna make a trip . (Oh your film is fine to me , not “ jerky “ I’m particularly fond of the minute list of what is where ! I think younger people now expect perfection from AI now not simply a human

@LondonVisited Год назад

Yes, head for that antiques bit and its always so interesting down there. Thanks also for letting me know your thoughts about the filming, appreciated :)

@susanharris5926 5 месяцев назад

I don't know why it is considered an antiques market because all I saw in your film were clothes, jewelry, food, artwork, etc. I didn't see any antiques in the street area at all. Even the "antique" section seemed to be just second hand clothes. When I lived there in there in the late 60s and early 70s, it was indeed an antiques market with stalls selling nothing else but antiques and bric a brac and the shops down there were also nearly all antique or picture galleries. They seem to be clothes or food shops now. It has definitely morphed.

@esthersantiago7152 Год назад

I love this tour. I would be interested in vintage clothing and vintage jewelry.

How awesome! Notting Hill. I did not see the movie, but the book shop looks beautiful. But never heard of Portobello Road. Lovely bright colored houses with great history. I just love the beautiful brick walls and the trees and bushes lining the homes. I love that bright yellow cafe. wonderful. The shops look like so much fun. Just look at that cute tea pot at 5:26. Bravo, Admiral Vernon! I always liked Hugh Grant - especially in his period pieces with Emma Thompson. I never ever liked Julia Roberts! Ugh. Loved this video and thank you for all the details I learned of the areas. Yumm Yumm food court! I would love to try the many varieties. Yes, the art work with the x-Ray person reaching for the painting is quirky and cute. So note to self - look up! LOL Blessings.

It's a place where you really don't know what you'll find each time you go and then find something quite unexpected. Lovely coloured houses and always looking up in London, although can cause a few accidents 😂👍😀

@lesleysmith51 2 года назад

Wonderful Sunday 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️as always. (Not sure what happened yesterday) I love watching it drinking my coffee. If I went there I would have to have unlimited money 💰and a lorry behind me. You can get everything you dream about. I had a raw oyster once in France and it was awful 😫 so I would avoid that stall. I prefer China ware as it needs doesn't need polishing. The thing with the silver is that it's more substantial. I would eat so much too. I like the pastel colors of the houses but not the really bright ones.it makes me very wistful. Thank you for such a great post. Did you have anything to eat there ?

@lesleysmith51 2 года назад

Did you eat anything ? Did you see my main post. I am concerned you would think I hadn't done one when I always do.

@LondonVisited 2 года назад

Hi Lesley, thanks for letting me know and I was thinking you must be busy as no comment as usual, but I have just found it in the comments held for review - how weird is that!!!!! So pleased you saw it and yes so much you could get! China is more delicate but a daily polish of the silver would keep it in check :) No I didnt eat there, thought about it but then wizzed to Brick lane to film the Saturday market there for a future video! Glad to find your comment and thanks as always Lesley, Steve
