Golborne Road market
Golborne Road is located just off Ladbroke Grove at the Northern
end of Portobello Road market. The market opening times are the
same as Portobello Road. Golborne Road has its own quirky ambiance
distinct to that of nearby Portobello, with an eclectic mix of
international food stalls, restaurants from everyday cafes and
kebabs to gastro-pub and upscale cuisine including the
ultra-trendy new Pizza East, second-hand
and vintage wares, architectural antiques, niche designer and
vintage fashion boutiques, personal pampering, discount and
convenience shops, and local services. It stretches past the
iconic Trellick Tower, which itself overlooks the Grand Union Canal
leading to Regents Park, Camden and beyond. Golborne Road also
serves as the hub of thriving Portuguese and North African
communities.
During the week the market offers mainly fruit, vegetables,
takeaway food, and household goods. On Friday and Saturday the
market really comes alive with a busy second hand and bric-a-brac
section.
