Portobello Road is primarily an antiques market, which comes to life on Saturdays, when the rows of stalls stretch far into the distance: antique dealers and merchants selling art, clothing, crafts and second-hand books are abound. Fashion mavens come here to browse and to be inspired. Many successful designers got their start under the tent by the bridge. During the week, there's a fruit and vegetable market every day and on Thursdays, there is an organic market.
