SEASON TWO | Episode 7: a guide to luxury VINTAGE | LONDON Portobello Road

Picture perfect in every way is Portobello Road on market day. Submerged in popular culture from cult TV classics such as Bargain Hunt to film royalty Bedknobs and Broomsticks, this place is all you dream it will be and more. When the market is in full swing over the weekend there’s really no better place to be. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing parts of London to wander through and it is most certainly the prettiest place to part with your pennies. Fashion stalls spread the length of the street, stashed in sporadic order down the strip. So if you are a devoted shopped be sure to put your walking boots on. True to its bohemian nature stalls are fluid and ever-changing but there are a couple of pitches you can count on that will always be open on market day.
