Portobello Road MarketPortobello Road Market is a market located in the Notting Hill area of West London. The world-famous part of it sells antiques and draws many tourists. The main market day for antiques is Saturday. However, there are also many fruit and vegetable stalls in the market serving local residents (which tend to be further north than the antiques) and these trade throughout the week. The market started as a fresh food market in the nineteenth century: antiques dealers arrived in the 1960s. Cat Stevens wrote a song about the Portobello Road Market. ==Use in film== A key scene in the 1971 Disney movie ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'', starring Angela Lansbury, occurs at the Portobello Road Market.
