By now we all know and love the Portobello Road Market. It's countless appearances in movies (Hello Notting Hill!) has led it to be one of the most popular vintage and antique markets in London. Stroll on down and shop away. 

The Public House group is quietly reminding punters why we all love the British pub. It kicked off with The Pelican in 2022, but was quickly followed by The Hero in Maida Vale and Cotswolds’ spot The Bull. Each one has a soft but serious smartness as well as putting a focus on local produce. The Pelican’s menu includes blistering Welsh rarebits and scampi reimagined with monkfish. The team’s Italian restaurant, Canteen on Portobello Road, is also worth a trip. First-rate hospitality that always hits the mark.

With vintage pieces sourced from all over the world, this vintage shop is pretty unique. We love popping in here and looking at all the beautiful clothes and items. 

In a renovated townhouse run by husband-and-wife team Ian Paley and Emily Dyson is a cool concept store with an eye for independent brands. Inside, find Ian’s cult vintage- inspired menswear label Garbstore (collaborations have included Reebokx Garbstore trainers), as well as womenswear from YMC and handmade lamps by Shiraki Kougei. A space that celebrates everything from Japanese ingenuity to British textile tradition.
