Portobello Road Market is known for its second-hand clothes and antiques as well as a setting of a scene for Walt Disney musical film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It's also one of 'must-visit' spots in London guidebooks as a very trendy place. First and foremost, it's a marketplace, where people either trade or buy some goods. All goods here are either old or very old, which makes this street market a paradise for vintage lovers. And although buying a shabby dress that was in fashion some 50 years ago may be controversial for a common visitor, it may be the place where you feel for the first time that London is a special city with its unique atmospere and mood. It is inspiring indeed. You can either wonder around rows of stalls with clothes, each of which represents a particular historic period and trend, look at small colorful buildings, pop into a cafe and have a delicious cupcake (the best I have tried in London so far), or in a spanish food shop - you are most likely to be lost in time and space.. which is definitely worth doing at some point. And it may well be that coming to Portobello market will become your weekend's habit. And who knows maybe one day you will end up buying a fantastic glitzy top to become a queen of a night out.
