Last Saturday I went to Portobello market with my roommates Emily, Ashley, and Paige. One of Emily's friends from home is studying abroad through the London School of Economics so she came along as well. We went around 11:30AM and stayed until about 3PM. The market stretches about two miles and has so much to offer. The market stalls are on both sides of the street and you can also go into the stores along the way. We went into Cath Kidston, which is like the Vera Bradley of the UK.
As always, we tried some great food. Paige and Ashley had Weiner Schnitzel, Emily had a falafel wrap, and I had a smoothie then a cheese and spinach crepe.
There were lots of jewelry stands, some antique some newer. I was on the lookout for a neat, cheap, antique ring but didn't find one that fit well.
There were row upon row of vegetable and fruit stands. I didn't end up getting any fresh produce because I didn't want the crowds to knock into my bag and bruise anything I was carrying.
