The past two Saturdays we walked over to Portobello Market. It's a famous antique and farmer's market that began in the 1800's and has been drawing locals and tourist ever since.
I'm feeling lazy today, so I won't be using my words. Fortunately, a picture is worth a thousand.

Yay for having your own place! And in such a cool location -- great photos -- hope you get The Call soon and can really get settled.
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to have space!!
DeleteReally enjoy your photographs Selena, some of the best I have seen in blogworld...Look forward to following along. :)
ReplyDeleteJeanne, Thanks so much for commenting. Thanks for the very sweet words. They made my day! But also, thanks for introducing me to your blogs! Looks like I have some afternoon reading to do!!
DeleteI want that luggage!
ReplyDeleteDo you have your passport??
DeleteWow you're super lucky you are getting to live in Notting Hill! What a fantastic spot! I worked in Notting Hill last summer so really love that area! Westbourne Grove which isn't so far away is also another great place to check out (if you haven't already). There is Melt Chocolates (which are amazing) Ottolenghi's (which have really interesting and tasty sweet treats, cakes and pastries) Tom's Deli (which again has great cupcakes, and savoury dishes, and even a few American sweets/groceries if I remember correctly if you're missing anything in particular!) and they also have a pretty new restaurant opened up by a famous Aussie called Granger & Co which my sisters tried a few weeks back and said it was amazing. There's Pizza East in Portobello, I've only tried the one in Shoreditch but their pizzas are some of the best. There's also a great Mexican in Westbourne Grove called Crazy Homies and right beside it is an American diner called Lucky 7 which does awesome thick shakes! Also High St Ken is just a tube stop away, I love the shopping there and of course the massive Whole Foods and you should try out My Old Dutch - they do enormous savoury and sweet pancakes and are so tasty. Sorry didn't mean for this comment to get so long - as you can tell I like food! haha just had to share some of my fave places with you :)
ReplyDeleteAdding all of this to my list!! Thanks for the recommendations... I think I'll explore Westbourne Grove on Friday!! I'm starting to really love London.
DeleteI've been to London a few times but went to Notting Hill for the first time this December. It was lovely! What a great area to live in!! Heading back to London on Saturday with girlfriends and your photos have made me want to revisit that great market. Thanks for sharing and good luck getting all settled!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Notting Hill. We are here until the end of March, not sure after that. What an adventure, this emigration thing! Hope you have a wonderful girlfriend day today! I can't wait to read about it.
DeleteWow, what an amazing place and such fantastic pictures
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I love the bumble bee photos! Are you going to the BritMum convention this summer? I've registered and I'm really excited!
DeleteI love the markets on Portobello Road! What a great set of photos - you've captured so much of the atmosphere that I love there. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Busy Nothings Photography Club.
