*Portobello Road*


Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down Portobello Road for miles
Greeting strangers in Indian boots
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger.
          ~ Cat Stevens~

Portobello Road, located in west London is one of the most famous street markets in the world.  It goes straight through the heart of Notting Hill, made famous by the film.  There are several sections of the market:  ~Antiques, ~fruit and veg, ~New goods, ~Fashion Market, ~Second Hand Goods.  Opens bright and early Saturday morning~  We should have no problem spending the day as it stretches about 2 miles!  We shall see what kind of "swag" we can find!

*IN THE MARKET GAME "SWAG" IS THE TERM USED FOR CHEAP EVERYDAY GOODS!
