Snap up a bargain at Portobello Market

Tourists visiting London during the coming weeks may wish to consider paying a visit to Portobello Market.

Located in the west of the capital, the market stretches for approximately two miles, dissecting the Notting Hill area made famous by the film of the same name.

A wide variety of goods ranging from fruit and vegetables to antiques are available from the various stalls, with Saturday being the ideal day for shoppers hoping to pick up a bargain to pay a visit.

However, those thinking of browsing the 2,000-odd stalls may wish to get there early, as according to LondonTown.com, the weekend crowds mean shopping can take a lot longer than expected.

Shoppers may wish to incorporate Portobello Market into a weekend browsing what the capital’s street vendors have to offer, as Brick Lane market, in the East End, takes place every Sunday and offers an equally diverse range of products.
