Portobello Road Market 2

Lunch. There is a great little cafe on the roof of a shop overlooking the market. Nice Spanish grub though they do have a touch of the Maccas - 'We don't start the lunch menu for 5 minutes so you have to order breakfast':

View from the cafe showing the crowds.

Looking the other way - and a tube train just happens to be passing.


Clothes / Footy. Almost synonymous at the moment:

Popular with the retro-kinder, this one.

My dad in the war.

Brazil are ready...

...and so is everybody else.


Junk:

Junk is cheap.

Joss sticks. A clever ruse, this. Light one up while smoking grass and the cops go 'There's someone smoking dope near here. Oh, wait a minute, that's joss sticks. I think I'll walk on by.'

Get your dodgy Rolex here without going anywhere near Thailand and that nasty business with the ladyboy - to pick an incident at random.

Posters, saucy and not-so.


And lastly, the flea market:

Please buy my pictures, I'm saving up for teeth.

Most stuff is real junk.

Others are really classy.


The Prize:

Of course, we had to buy SOMETHING.

And here it is in the back yard.
