So our second day in London saw us heading to Portobello Market at Notting Hill. London’s street markets are well known and this one didn’t disappoint. With a bit of good timing, we had the whole morning to explore the market and then catch the Thameslink rail to Luton airport for our easyjet flight to Paris CDG.
We got off at Notting Hill tube station and there were hordes of visitors on their way to the market too. We didn’t bother with checking the map or street signs and went straight with the direction the crowd was heading.

The girls loved the "pretty houses".

Too much Red for the eyes to bear.

We didn’t manage to walk all of Portobello Road, keeping in mind that we had to head back to King’s Cross, grab our bags and catch the train to Luton. We would be returning to London after Florence before Gladys flies back on the 27th, and Yuanting and Kenny on the 29th. Pretty packed, our first two days in London but more relaxing days to come.
