來倫敦以後,最喜歡的地方就是Notting Hill,不僅是因為它是「新娘百分百」的電影場景,自從上次Carvinal造訪過一次後,我就被這邊沿著小丘整齊排列的可愛房子吸引,很想看看在書上所寫的市集與這樣漂亮的街景組合起來會是什麼樣子。

出Notting Hill Gate Station之後的第一條叉路就是Pembridge Road,右轉Pembridge Road之後沿著走就會接到Portobello Road,也就是市集所在地了!不過在接到市集之前的這段路,卻可以充分感受到Notting Hill的幽靜與美麗,兩旁綿延的綠蔭襯著可愛的房子,時而有充滿特色的商店或咖啡屋,實在讓人很難想像Notting Hill曾經是充滿老鼠垃圾的髒亂地區。

進入Portobello Market之後,首先映入眼簾的是各式古董銀飾商店與攤販,還有許多充滿異國風情,像是摩洛哥之類的民俗藝品商店,不過想在這邊購買古董銀飾價錢可不便宜,雖然很喜歡生活雜貨,可是看到貼上標價的茶杯銀匙,還是只能默默的飄走,畢竟現在過的是窮留學生的生活啊!在眾多高價的攤販中還有一種擺滿古董銀飾的攤子,價錢分成五鎊、三鎊、一鎊都有,不過從價格高低就可以看出商品的優劣,花點時間在一鎊的區域仔細翻找,可能會有可愛的胸針或是古董湯匙等等的驚喜發現喔!

後半段的市集風格大轉,變成了蔬果市場,有許多漂亮鮮艷的特色蔬果陳列在這邊,也許以後可以不用去超市改成來這邊買菜吧!除了蔬果外,還有許多特色小吃也穿插在其中,傳來陣陣香味。西班牙海鮮飯的攤子前擠滿了人潮,許多觀光客都拿出相機來為翻動超大平底鍋的老闆拍照。如果要來Portobello Market,最好還是空腹來吧!因為在市集裡的誘惑實在太多了,而各式料理糕點,甚至到甜點可麗餅這邊都應有盡有,讓人真想一次嘗盡!

市集尾端是由許多設計師服飾攤販組成的,多到另人眼花撩亂,不過價錢也是另人眼花撩亂。這邊的衣服都很有特色,除了以搞怪party專用的衣服、充滿貴族氛圍的蕾絲禮帽外,還有濃重日本風味的服飾,在這邊買的衣服應該不會像Primark一樣到處跟人撞衫吧!在設計師服飾區旁有一個shopping mall,如果不想要在市集跟大家人擠人,可以進去mall裡面逛逛。

Portobello Market是可以充分貼近英國文化的市集,攤販老闆大多悠閒的看著自己的書報或是打盹,可以讓旅客們盡情翻找喜歡的商品,偶爾也有遇到熱情的老闆想跟你攀談兩句。來到這邊,絕對不會感受到像一般印像中那樣冷默匆忙的倫敦氣氛。我又更愛這邊一點了。
