As I always ended up hitting Notting Hill at night, this time I was early bird to find Portobello.I was going to ask people for way with London map in my hand but no need! There was a massive tourist crowd and there were signs everywhere to follow for going to Portobello Road.It was even hard to walk.Starting the beautiful Notting Hill streets with gorgeous houses the crowd got more and hard to walk entering the Portobello way.Its a huge and beautiful bazaar with lots of antiques, gift shops, vintage shops, second hand sellers, so many shops, street bands doing different kinds of music, Portobello crepes and waffle houses, lots of different cafes and thrift stores, all kind of people around, tourists to stylish fashion thrifters.It was my last day in London and I found so many amazing vintage and second hand sellers too bad if only I had more cash than my visa card.But no worries I bought really amazing pieces mostly vintage.Here are piece of photos I snapped walking around.Guess what? at the end of Portobello we got a bit lost and came by to a vintage store and after bargain I bought a pair of moss green leather&suede boots for 50 Pounds.They are very good condition and very stylish.I wore them till I hit Istanbul back.
