Portobello Market
The Georgian House Hotel is a great place to stay if you are planning to visit Portobello Market. This famous market is based in Notting Hill and is easy to reach by bus or underground.
Welcome to Portobello Market, the world's largest antiques market, with over 1500 dealers selling every kind of antique and collectable. The market is open every Saturday, while the shops are open six days a week.
Market days start gradually from around 5.30am with trading between dealers from the UK and overseas. Most stall-holders have arrived by 8.00am and the market is in full swing for the rest of the day, with collectors and visitors from all over the world. The shops and stalls of Portobello Market offer an extraordinary variety of goods ranging in price from a few pounds to several thousands. Visitors come from all over the world because they know that in Portobello Road they will find the most extensive selection of antiques in Britain. This guide lists all the dealers who belong to the Portobello Antique Dealers Association (PADA), together with local services and trade suppliers. PADA members subscribe to the PADA Code of Practice. This ensures that customers get as much information as practicable about the goods they intend to buy and that the transaction is properly documented. So, when you've found just what you're looking for, you can buy with confidence from a PADA dealer. Look for the PADA symbol on their shops or stalls - and happy hunting! The Portobello Market Antique Dealers Association was formed in 1985 to promote the antiques shopping area of Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove, to improve the environment and to encourage fair dealing between its members and the public.
An Information Booth is situated at the junction of Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove to direct enquirers to specialist dealers and to provide general information. Portobello Road is 3km west of Marble Arch and is easy to reach by road or underground from anywhere in London. There's a choice of two underground stations: Ladbroke Grove (Hammersmith & City Line) or Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle and District Lines). The following busses (7, 12, 23, 27, 28, 31, 52, 70, 94, 148, 328) stop in or near the Portobello Market.
