We loved the market and the people, it was really buzzin on Saturday. Our favourite part was the 2nd hand clothes section under the motorway 3/4 of the way down portobello road. Also you must try the sausages from Banger Bros next to the Warwick Castle Pub, scrumptious.

A lot of buyers and stylists go here to pick up clothes and idea for the latest music videos or magazine pages. You are also likely to find the odd popstar or browsing under-cover! The indoor shopping arcade area is small but very unique and host some of britains newset and freshest small labels. I just wish there were more places like this around London that had a similar idea, the only other place like it is the bigger camden market. You must also check out the 'Leather Man', a stall that deals strictly with leather and suede jackets and trousers etc.

TIP: The best coffee on portobello road is sold by the boy @ the orange campervan near to where the flyover crosses the market! ;)

Worth checking out the Market Bar on Portobello Road on the junction with Lancaster Road, nice funky and lively bar with wild candelabra's!

We also liked the london farmers' markets at Notting Hill Gate , they had some good organic foods. An little known Notting Hill Market secret for all you foodys out there!

Notting Hill Market on Saturday is great, we liked the arts & crafts section, located just off Portobello Road on Tavistock Piazza (opposite Basecuts the hairdressers).

My favorite place to shop is the Portobello Green Arcade lots of cool designer (but not designer prices) clothes, many hand made. If you coming from Notting Hill Gate walk north down Portobello Road Market towards the flyover then look left when your under it and you will see the Arcade x

Admiral Vernon arcade is fab. I bought antiques there (Saturdays) and then had an awesome coffee and food in the food hall downstairs, now called Notting Hill cafe I hear. A MUST.
