Portobello Road Market dates back to the early 1860s. The life of the market began with nuns that lived on Portobello Farm. They used to sell milk and produce. The market has also featured in films such as Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), Notting Hill (1999), and Paddington Bear (2014), as well as many television programmes, popular songs and literary works. Each has sparked the curiosity of a new generation of visitors and traders.
