PORTOBELLO ROAD MARKET.
|
This market is
like three markets rolled into one. The first part is jewellery,
old medals and paintings and further down the market goes into
fruit and vegetables , then after that it becomes clothes ,
tapes and cheap C.D’s. But as the market carries on down the
street the stalls start to get a little worse for wear.
The main day
to come here is on Saturday when all the stalls are out.
