{In London}: After experiencing the community and local spirit of Broadway Market, it was time for some internationalism at Portobello Market. Portobello Market is well known to antique lovers and dealers worldwide as well as to tourists and locals. Walking along the famous Road there is plenty to be entertained by, antiques, independent shops and street artists. The atmosphere here is very international, you can hear different languages being spoken whilst cameras capture some essence of the buzzing market, definitively worth a visit.

carissima,devo fare una confessione:io non sono mai andata a Londra..ok, adesso mi nascondo dietro alla lavagna!Mi riservo sempre di andarci ma mi manca l'occasione o forse il compagno/a di viaggio giusto,mi perderei in questi mercatini, guarderei tutto e fotograferei anche i tombini!Credo che apprezzerei anche la cucina che è sempre stata bistrattata da tutti,chissà che non sia l'anno giusto per fare il salto della manica...Un bacione
