Markets: Hugh Grant Meets Antique Road Show
Portobello Road Market is known as the best antique market outside of the one held in Paris.

The Market, which is held on the weekends only, brings out antique sellers and buyers. Some antiques are real, others are about as real as OJ's innocence. Notwithstanding this, the Market will lead you into the Notting Hill area, where you can relive your Hugh Grant movie scenes and pretend that you belong there.

The Market has some pickpockets working the area, so pay attention to your stash.

Otherwise, it is a wonderful way to spend some time and browse the items. You never know, you may buy something that is actually worth something (although chances are not that good...).

A good place for prints, lithographs, and frames of all kinds.

Lots of silverware and pewter goods - although some of dubious quality.

More than you should.

    Markets: Any old iron
    Portobello Road market is well known, especially sine it appeared in Notting Hill and that other classic, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It's a pretty cool place where you can buy most things on a saturday afternoon - but come in the morning, when more stalls are open. Antiques are big here, but fruit, veg, clothes, gifts, they are all very popular, as are the West Indian stalls selling Jamaican food - Notting Hill, or Ladbroke Grove to be precise, has always been a Caribbean area, long before the trendies moved in.

    Markets: Antiques and more
    it's a huge market held every Saturday. They sell very unique things, accessories, antiques, books, clothes, jewellery and loads of other stuff. It's really good if you want to design the interior of your house and you like unique things. Things they sell there, you can't find anywhere else.

    souvenirs, clothes, books, pictures

    depends on a shopper. might be from £50 to £5000

    Portobello Road is famous for its market but also for the many antique shops that line the road. This is Alice's, one of the oldest shops in the area and probably one of the brightest too!

    Markets: Funky freaky market
    I couldn't pick a category for this market as it sells literally everything! Its funky and alternative and appeals to communities such as ravers goths and students the most.

    You can get anything from clothes, things for your house, crazy crafts and gadgets, smoking paraphenalia, records, CDs and DVDs and just about anything else. The shops in Camden are also very similar.

    As little or as much as you like
