Portobello Road Market London
During the week this is a great place to buy fruit and vegetables in charming Notting Hill. But on Saturdays the Portobello Road Market becomes one of the best spots in all of London. Over 1500 dealers make their wares available to the thousands of Londoners and tourists who come looking for bargains on unusual antiques and other items. It is crowded, bargains are not assured and tourists have nearly overrun the place; but you need to go anyway.

It is an experience unlike anything you will find nearly anywhere in the world. Some of the items are fascinating and rare. Others will take you back to your childhood. You'll find the vendors and others along the street truly enjoyable company and you might even find yourself buying something. Go early and grab a chocolate-banana waffle for breakfast and finish your day at Tom's or one of the other local restaurants for lunch.
