New Goods at Portobello Market
As well as being a world famous destination for tourists and visitors from all over, Portobello Market also serves the local community, which means there are also the normal selection of market traders you'd expect to find on any market in the country ...
So if you are looking for cheap socks, multi-packs of batteries, laundry bags and all kinds of other swag* then you can find it here too, these traders are dispersed around the market, from the fruit and veg section all the way down to and within the second hand area.
* = in the market game, swag is the term used for cheap everyday goods you buy in large boxed quantities from a wholesaler, which you then sell them on at discount prices, either individually or in the ubiquitous 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 style.
There are several distinct sections of the market ...
- Antiques Section - from Chepstow Villas to Elgin Crescent
- Fruit and Veg - Elgin Crescent to Talbot Road
- New Goods - Talbot Road to the Westway
- Fashion Market - Street in General and Westway Area
- Second Hand Goods - Westway to Goldbourne Road
