Portobello Road Market

This guide to Portobello Road Market in London traces its start to 1945, when the disreputable Caledonian Market shut down and its antiques dealers needed a new home. You'll hear how a muddy Notting Hill lane named after a naval victory grew from a modest produce market into a magnet for rare finds, and how by the 1960s cheap rents drew in artists, musicians and a vintage shop that pulled in Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. Look out for the stall where a young Paul Simonon, later of The Clash, once worked.
