Tea Time in Wonderland

Portobello Market is famous for its travel through time, its cafes, its mix of stalls, its brightly coloured walls, the general happy feeling of the place.

Tourists and locals rush there for the atmosphere, joining the week-end crowd, looking here and there. One is always amazed at the huge stock of silbver teaports, the toy double decker buses or lead toy soldiers, the real and false antiques… (Have a look at Alice, you’ll be amazed!). Or even just have a stroll through the nearby streets, so much quieter, glossy doors, looking the same and different at the same time, draped with ivy sometimes…

If you love British icons, you’ll be delighted. Why not have a cup of tea with the Royal family? Having foreign friends coming for a visit? So chic to serve your Earl Grey in a jubilee cup…

Of, course, you’ll find plenty fo books and videos too… (Try the Oxfam book shop – nice collection there)

…but also stamps…

…and even thimbles…

Would would have thought Portobello was fir for a king/queen?
