Portobello...

Before you even get to the main street make sure you stop off at the treasure troves of vintage boutiques on Pembridge Road. Walk from Nottinghill Gate and you come across Retro Woman, Retro Man, take a left onto Portobello and take a peak into Portobello Gallery - if you are even one wing of the magpie that I am you'll never leave this jewelry spectacular, crowns included. Teeter your way down the cobbled road and you'll hear the market before you see it.

The market can be split into Antiques, Fruit & Veg, New Goods, Fashion and Second Hand Goods. For more information on where they are located go to http://www.portobellomarket.org/ - written by a true Londoner and someone who works on the stalls for many a years.

I try and trip it to Portobello at least once a month, it's a great place to style watch and if that new pair of Chloe pants are going to feature anywhere I can assure you it'll be somewhere along the streets of Nottinghill. Enjoy.
