"Portobello Road, Portobello Road the street where the riches of ages are stowed, anything and everything a chap can unload is sold off the barrow in Portobello Road."

The writers of Disney film 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' had it spot on when attempting to sum up in song the goings on of the largest antique market in THE WORLD!! Yes, that's right, the world.

You can find everything from handbags to binoculars, clocks to luggage, lamps to artwork, literally anything and everything you could possibly want available from Portobello dealers at this bustling street market.
