The lyrics from this song in the movie Bed Knobs and Broom Sticks pretty much hits this market on the nose. They have everything from leather bound books, to jewelry, to artwork, to clothing, to furniture to kitchen appliances and silverware. Many items are dated back before America existed.
The number of street vendors and little antique shops is countless, we didn't even see the entire street.
A casual conversation included the phrase, "paintings from the 16 and 1700's" And this is what was heard from the man selling artwork on the side of the road. Prices climbed into thousands of pounds, But many reasonably priced items can be found as well. Located in Notting Hill, this is a must see market if you are ever in London. I know my friends and I are planning on going back many more times while we are here! Hoping to buy some things in the future, including a mirror I spotted today. I got a semi blurry picture of it so watch for a new one I will take soon.
Have a wonderfully Marvelous Day, cheers! ~Laura
Laura, I saw the mirror on facebook, and it is beautiful! Excellent find! One question ... how are you going to get it home?
ReplyDeleteI would most definitely hope that they would ship it. Although not sure how much more that would cost... But it is so beautiful and probably worth it!
