Portobello Road is a place in London that has a retro charm that practically spills onto the streets. It is located in the middle of Notting Hill, this famous street is more than an appealing backdrop for Hugh Grant movies -- it's a haven for those obsessed with antique treasures and gifts that refuse to be ordinary.
Saturdays are the time when the roads come alive. The market is a treasure hunt. The air is filled with people talking and the smell of freshly baked sweets from the bakeries. I always start in the antique section with rows of stalls that sparkle with silverware, antique clocks, and antique jewellery. These aren't just things -they're historical objects that you can take in the palm of your hand.
For the curious gift-buyer, the retro stalls are just a dream. You might find an Art Deco tea set next to a stack of 1970s vinyl records or a leather suitcase that has been battered waiting for its next adventure. I've found old typewriters here that still work wonderfully, and Tin toys that bring a sparkle to anyone's eye.
What I like most about Portobello Road is the personality of each purchase. Many traders are collectors and love to tell the stories behind their pieces. This kind of history makes the gift more personal.
And it's not only antiques. There are many independent shops that sell recycled vintage items - old fabrics transformed into cushions as well as reclaimed wooden jewellery boxes retro wall art that have been remastered. It's the place where nostalgia meets creativity, and it's perfect to find a interesting present ideas that is unique and stylish.
Take your time if going to Portobello to shop for gifts. Keep your eyes open, walk slowly, and then stop to have a coffee in one of the cafes. If you're not in a hurry, the most valuable finds are often discovered. When you leave you'll have something in your bag that can't be bought in the department store -Something with a soul or a story and a little bit of London magic.
