I got seriously lucky with my flat in Landan and ended up living right behind Portobello Market. Now, when attempting to get myself an Easter Egg from my local Tesco (which is on Portobello Road) on a tourist-filled Saturday, this proves to be a serious task that only the strong willed could survive. However, on a sunny and warm Monday it is very pleasant. There's still the odd group of Italian tourists, and the main stalls of the market go into hibernation until the weekend, but most of the shops on the street are still open and you can rummage around everything from the above jewellery stores to shops dedicated to vintage sporting equipment.
So if, like me, crowds and slow-walkers give you permanent bitch face, I seriously recommend taking to Portobello Road on a weekday.
love you and leave you
