There aren’t too many markets in Kensington & Chelsea, so it’s just as well that one of London’s most famous ones – Portobello Market – is in the area!
Portobello Market
Portobello Road, W11
Website: www.portobellomarket.org
Underground: Notting Hill Gate or Westbourne Park
On (and around) the mile-long Portobello Road, the market sells a wide variety of goods, clothes, antiques and even food with different items sold on different days. The market is open every day, except for Sunday.
On weekdays you’ll find the food market; Fridays clothes and bric-a-brac; and on Saturdays there is the world-famous antiques market.
Notting Hill Farmers’ Market
Car park behind Waterstones, just off Notting Hill Gate
Website: http://www.lfm.org.uk/nott.asp
Underground: Notting Hill Gate
Open 9am to 1pm every Saturday, this one’s a real hidden gem – one of the better farmers’ markets. Small, with about 15 stalls, but always busy. There’s a good butcher here, and the bread is top notch.
South Kensington Farmers’ Market
Bute Street, SW7
Website: www.lfm.org.uk/markets/south-kensington
Underground: South Kensington
Part of the same group of London farmers’ markets as the Notting Hill one mentioned above, this one is held every Saturday between 9am and 2pm, when Bute Street is closed to traffic. A wide range of produce is sold.

Hi,
I would love to know if you have any local great makers market in this area.
I feel my product would suit this location and would love to know any events that are booked in for Christmas.
Kind regards,

Hello,
I hope you are well.
I am writing to enquire about the possibility of trading at Portobello Market. I am interested in hiring a stall and would like to find out more about availability, pricing, and the application process.
At PINNAL, we create products using the distinguished art of hand-braiding from Tamilnadu (India), using Bioleather, a unique plant-based leather made from tomato waste. The material used is unique as it is not only biodegradable and water-resistant but is also free from PU, PVC and harmful chemicals, unlike other synthetic leather alternatives. It also uses 98% less water, 90% less CHG and 70% less energy, unlike conventional animal leather. We can promise to offer high quality, sustainable products that aim to reduce negative environmental impact. We have a variety of products ranging from small leather goods, including cardholders, wallets and passport holders; to bags of various sizes.
Please let me know if there are currently any spaces available and what the next steps would be to apply.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Prasana Vijay
