Notting Hill & Portobello Market

Known for its vibrant atmosphere, colorful houses, and eclectic market scene, Notting Hill is a must-visit destination in London, and we are here to ensure you experience it in the most exquisite way possible. 

As you stroll along Portobello Road, immerse yourself in the bustling market filled with antiques, vintage clothing, jewelry, and artisanal goods. 

For film buffs, relive moments from the beloved romantic comedy “Notting Hill” starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant as your guide points out filming locations and shares behind-the-scenes stories. Capture Insta-worthy photos at the famous blue door and other landmarks featured in the movie, creating lasting memories of your private tour through this cinematic neighborhood. 

The popular Notting Hill market is known as Portobello Market, so called because it runs along Portobello Road. Pay a visit to one of the best markets in London, and you’ll discover something fascinating to take home with you. 

The main market days are Friday and Saturday, although a smaller market takes place from Monday to Thursday. On weekdays, locals buy fresh fruit and vegetables here. Second-hand goods are included on Friday, but Saturday is the busiest market day when all the antique market stalls are in position, and the bargain hunters arrive. There are also some great clothing stalls to find along the way. Nearly a kilometer long, this bustling West London market offers an endless variety of merchandise – dive in, and you’re sure to find a unique souvenir.

We had such a wonderful time with Mason. He is super knowledgeable and really showed us a great time. It really was a perfect match for us. Thank you so much and please know what a great guide Mason is! Thanks again!
