Portobello Market @ Notting Hill Gate

Portobello Market is one of the tourist attraction in UK because of a movie called Notting Hill where Julia Roberts meets Hugh Grant. I was not interested in that movie so I watch it for 20 mins and I eventually fell asleep. hahah! Supposed to meet my friend there but it was MEGA LOTS OF PEOPLE!!! You wouldn't get to stop in front of the street and take picture for a min because the crowd just keep walking and walking and walking towards you.

Surprisingly, after more than a year I've been living in UK, I only sat in a typical London's black car taxi twice. hahaha!


It's roughly about 20 mins from Marble Arc to Notting Hill Gate by car. Here you go, the Portobello Market!! They sell most of the antique stuff, arts, photography, new items, food and vegetables. This market are divided into various section from antique stuff to food.






They have lots of cute acessories and vintage bag but I guess because it is a tourist spot, that's why their prices were way to costly. This little hat pin cost about 3.50 pounds.




The Good Fairy sell really really old stuff like old cds, deorations, cutlery and more. Their cutlery doesn't seems to be clean at all. Looks like they just search it under a decade long kitchen or whatever.


Look at this stupid tiny bottles! It's at 3 pounds each. What a rip off @.@ Melaka got more lah and it's only like RM1.5? hahaahah!
Even every little things like that, they do sell it there. The seller was both old woman & man. Looks like they lelong their stuff which they bought it from China or where ever =.= Maybe bought it in Malaysia. hahaah!


Wooo~ I love this!! Antique "portable" cameras!! I wonder where they get those. Probably the seller owned a camera shop decades ago. Tak laku that's why they are here. hahah! Not cheap. Price ranging from 50 pounds - 200 pounds.


Those stamps are hand craft by an old man.



Look! It's a PAC CHOI! hahaha!

This seafood platter only cost 4 pounds and they give freaking alot. However, don't be happy with the amount of seafood they gave. You will eat until you puke @.@







I dont know what rice is this but I have to tell you, it's yummmyy!!
