- Today I braved the crowds, so you don't have to. Are we getting totally ripped off, are they even antiques or fakes? Let's find out if Portobello Road is great or a total scam for tourists. £10 is my budget, let's go!

You're one of the very few youtubers who actually says / takes a look at prices of items, that's great, thanks!
glad you enjoy that too!
Great things all over - however - the older I get the more I absolutely hate crowds. No can do anymore. Thanks Hanna, another great Vlog!
I'm the same!!
Same here! Can’t stand crowds. And, s as you said, my aversion to them grows the older I get.
Fun fact, houses in Notting Hill weren’t colourful until the Caribbeans came and introduced painting the houses bright colours
Still wont advise anyone to go to London, far to violent.
Even 20 years ago, this place was busy, loaded with silver, jewelry, maps, all over-priced. We walked from S. Kensington, up to Notting Hill, then across Hyde Park, through various gardens, back to our hotel, about 8-10 miles. We slept hard that night! Memories, but I wouldn’t do it again. I LOVE the stamps you bought!!
My mom and I love watching your videos together during dinner. We are hopefully planning a trip to London purely to see the most lavish things. All thanks to you ❤
thanks for watching!
Love this comment…..”most lavish things”😂👌🏽
Ahhh I love Notting Hill!! Can't wait to see this ☺
"Stop arguing in the comments - they've got both of them." 🤣🤣🤣☠
so much drama!
I cackled 😂
Why is it whenever I’m feeling fed up and I hate everything, this girl with her real talk and wandering makes me feel so much more happier? Hannah girly wish there were more people like you. Thank you for your videos. 🙌
Thanks for braving the crowds so we could see what it’s REALLY like on Portobello Road. I have wanted to go there for ages. I love your purchases. When I get there I will definitely check out the stamps! PS-If I had a house there, I think I would go for a nice sage green color.
nice choice!!
Thank you Hannah.. Sweet mother of blimey Charlie. All those people walking down the street. Can you imagine opening the curtains first thing in the morning to find a hundred plus people staring. 😊
Thanks for another peek of life in London! Always enjoyable.
Enjoyable vlog Hannah. Crowds seem standard for a touristy place. Not too shocking as I live in California, Bay Area and we have crowds at concerts, flea markets and craft shows. Love the people watching, food and your laughter 😊
Happy Tuesday, Hannah. Fun vlog today…made me think about the song in Bedknobs and Broomsticks about finding anything and everything on Portobello Road. The crowds did look huge and some of the prices were crazy. Have a wonderful week and eagerly awaiting Friday’s vlog!
Success - you did really well, Hannah!
And thank you for braving the crowds to bring us such a cool vlog - a great close-up look at Portobello Market! 🙏🥰
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for spending your Saturday morning with the crowds to film this video. It was an enjoyable stroll with you.
I love your '10 pound Tuesdays' - Portobello Road is very cool - spendy, but cool to see. I stumbled across your videos during the 2020 madness and totally love your walks around London. Thank you for sharing! The food there looks amazing - from the fun street food to the grocery stores (Tesco to Harrod's) to the (in)formal teas - even the cool pub your shared with your dad and Judy - too much fun! It takes all of us (except Londoner's) away from our daily lives to a place far away - I find your vlogs to be honest and genuine!
Hi Hannah , I just can't resist antique stores I could spend hours in one .
Have a fantastic week , see you Friday.
My relative has a ‘pitch’ on the Market
It’s antiques
He has worked the market since the mid to late 1980’s
He has also done most of the sign writing for many of the shops as well
❤️❤️🏴🏴🌼🌼😍😍👍 👍
I worked the Saturday market for 5 years. The stall was outside the Market Bar. It was a booming market from 1987 - 1994.
Such a beautiful city view.i really enjoyed watching every minute of this video.
Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Hello Hannah. I never ever go up the hill on a Saturday as it's mental and full of tat. I am strictly Elgin upwards. The best donuts ever are at the donut stall before the Canopy bridge. Makaan is the best Indonesian market food and I have been going for over 20 years. I only ever shop under the canopy for second hand and vintage as it is there and Goldbourne that have the best bits of real market trade. Love your videos. Sending best.
That was very buzzy and picturesque Hannah. Takes me back to when I worked in London In the 1950's [ sorry guys, I know it was back in the dark ages lol ] London never changes that much - love it x
“London never changes much????” Please come and visit this once glorious City, then pass on your knowledge, thanks
@@betchaanbetjane7045 What happened then?
You must be at least in your middle 80ies then. You look amazing for your age, lady.
@@Bogna1 I am 85 years young with 2 daughters [ 62 and 60 ] 5 grown up grandsons, 2 great grandsons, with another making an entrance in September [ not a grand daughter in sight, that's why I like to think of our lovely Hannah as one 😇x
@@Bogna1 My advice, as a veteran do not visit unless you have security, or stay out of the centre of London
Thank you for braving the tourists in Notting Hill area😮. I couldn't cope 😅. Well done for your £10 budget. You do make me laugh out loud with some of your comments, you say what i 🤔 think😂❤. Keep safe love as usual. Rosie O from a slightly warmer Devon, England 🏴 x
Another EPIC vlog! You really are THE Queen of London vlogs! Tuesdays and Fridays are so much brighter!
Thank you for braving the crowds, Hannah. I went there twice but never on the "main" day. I enjoyed the antique shops and all. I bought some really nice tea cups with "arts and crafts" motifs at Alice's for only 6 quid each. I also love the tea from Bird and Blend. They have a delicious version of Earl Grey with vanilla. Yum.
Just lovely Hannah ❤
Bless your beautiful heart for braving those crowds to make this for us 🩷 I thoroughly enjoyed it!
You're two videos a week makes time fly. I really enjoy that you have so much fun.
Hey Hannah! Thanks a bunch for taking us on those delightful tours of the old, bustling market. I absolutely adore these kinds of places, even if I'm just strolling around without buying anything. It's all about soaking up the atmosphere! Totally agree with you on the fake stuff front - gotta watch out for those sellers. Anyway, I had a blast watching your video, and I promise it wasn't boring at all, contrary to what you mentioed at the end of the vlog. Have a fantastic Tuesday evening, and see you on Friday! 💐🇬🇧❤🇺🇸💐
Portobello is always rammed on a. Saturday Hannah and I always go on a Friday with 80 per cent of places open but half the people.Yes there is a lot of tourist tack on sale but it still is great Antique stuff as well.Lovely video and well done inspite of the mob.
What a lovely trip! Thanks for bringing us along, Hannah!
Adore the Tuesday vids. The color of the stone front homes are refreshing. Have a great week Hannah.
A fantastic little mooch around, Hannah, thank you! Loved this week’s tenner Tuesday haul, very different. Always some great stalls amongst the tourist tat, vegan foodie bits too… perfect vlog! ❤
Wow, what crowds😳😳😳😳people everywhere, beautiful people though🖐️☺️❤️. Who needs a sign saying "Toilet", for the toilet🤔, how gross🚽🪠🧻. Now, the size of those magnifying glasses was scary😱, it's a market, a monacle is a better choice🧐. Did you think the silver stalls were naff, not sure about that, possibly picking up dodgy vibes👮♀️🚓. Some of the items were outrageously overpriced, 400 quid for a plastic handbag, I don't think so 😶. Bit unsure about the Disney and Fortnum's merch, it scared me, confidence issues😨. Brilliant buys for 9 quid, two stamps, very poignant and personal, giving the vlog a calm and cosy feel😌🛋️. A fantastic vlog Hans, perfect for a spring Tuesday💐❤️❤️❤️😁
Loving the £10 challenge and how you show London. Feeling inspired to get out and do more!!❤
Hi Hannah the world famous portobello road market I take my hat of to you trying to vlog when it's so busy. Not the market it's once was sadly. Never mind you did the best you can❤❤
Not only is Hannah beautiful, but she's hilarious! I love her constant stream of consciousness soliloquies! ❤
hello Hannah 👋
Thank you very much for the great video, a nice selection of antiques, your videos are always a pleasure, I hope you have a nice week😊
You can't show enough food videos Hannah. I live in Canada and the food there in Britain interests me, especially with my grandparents coming here from England years ago. I've heard about the foods there and have tasted some...love it! I did however enjoy this vlog as you toured around the market...love doing that too!
Hi Hannah! Great to see you vlogging and enjoying
oh my gosh, thank you for enduring the crazy crowds in order to share this vlog! It does look like a fun experience though, and I also adore the colorful houses!! love the stamps you picked as well!!
Trying to find a real bargain in a market is not always easy. NB my house would be canary yellow with vertical lime green stripes. It's art you know !
Thank you for taking us on a tour of Portobello Market Hannah! Too busy for my liking but very interesting stalls. Love the block stamps you purchased. I went to Europe a couple of times on high school trips but missed the year they went to England. I so love your vlogs - I get to see London! Have a good rest of the week! Looking forward to Friday's video.
This was another awesome informative video about the Markets there in London and what to watch out for Thank You and have a fantastic
beautiful week🫅Hannah🫅🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
The videos are never boring, we ❤ Hannah! Thanks for showing us around.
I really do love that Tuesday vlog! Great job Hannah! 🎉🎉🎉
It's So Beautiful There ! I Love The Colorful Houses And I Always Enjoy A Good Open Market.Thank You For Sharing ❤
Thanks for showing us all the cool stuff - the vintage cameras 😍Loved the stamp you got 😃 You're such a vibe love all your vlogs!
Hannah, I’ve been enjoying your vlogs for several months now. They’re actually something I consider a treat to watch when time allows. You started making me hungry with all the beautiful breads and sweets (both my favs) so I sit down with something yummy and sinful to eat while dreaming of those sweet desserts 🧁 you’re showing us at Harrods! (Easter 2024…omgosh!)
Anyway, just wanted to say hey and thank you for all the amazing content you bring here as well as suffering the crowds you so often do! You are a girls girl and a true gem! ❤ Thank you, Hannah! 🎉 -Roxy in Laguna Beach🏝️, CA
P.S. Love the two stamps you settled on! Such a good head on your shoulders!😊
That was fun. Keep vlogging. Yes show food anytime.😊
Markets are my nightmare and have been for over 40 years. You have to sharpen your elbows to poke people out the way, whilst they try to literally snatch things from you so they can take a look. Awful places. You are one brave lady, Hannah. Thanks for taking one for the team 😂.
I love the tours around London. There was so much I missed when I visited your beautiful city. I can’t wait to see more. I love seeing what is in the gift shops ( A & V museum) and look forward to seeing more. Gardens and architecture are amazing too.
Cheers!
Thanks for battling for us Hannah! It is a great video 🙂
Amazing job. I love your videos!! Keep them coming!!
Brilliant vlog Han. Have you ever thought of doing a car boot vlog, there is a good car boot in Chiswick. Also, Chiswick would be a nice high street to vlog. it's like a down market Kensington high street but up market Hammersmith/king street. Xx
Maybe one day!
Looks a nice market Hannah, bit pricey though. 👍😁😎 My favourite stall was with the binoculars and compasses. Look forward to your next video 👍😁😎
AHHHH!!! Okay, I'm over my fear of crowds, lol. You are a trooper Hannah! I would have gotten claustrophobic, panicked and high tailed it out of there 😂😂 Very good video for the craziness it was. I adore what you bought, perfect! Have a lovely week, thank you so much for sharing this with us!
just perfect, loved looking at all of the things, keep this up!!!
Hi Hannah. Thank you for venturing into this market so I can see what it’s like. I’d never go, it’s far too busy for me! I liked the Brambly Hedge stall too. I also have been using a film camera recently. I hope you have a lovely week 😊
Thanks Hannah for letting us come along with you to Portabella Rd. When Dovie and I went there we found a few things. Most of my souvenirs were vintage books by English and Scottish authors from old book stores. Nice finds. Cheers Ron and Dovie
Loved the vlog. Thank you for sharing.
Good job Hannah, that was ridiculously busy, you did well to persevere the crowds! 👏❤️
Loved todays vlog, Portobello Market always has such a fun variety of items. Thanks Hannah.
Very enjoyable and great idea Hannah! Thank you!
Happy Tuesday, Hannah!! xoxoxo
Now I want a bun! LOL I knew you couldn't resist filming the food -- it is what I wait for! Thanks, Hannah - it was manic out there!
I got a beautiful DIOR commercial before your video and have never before seen a luxury brand commercial on any videos I watch. Well done!!!
Loved this video! You took 1 for the team braving the crowds. Very interesting things being sold. Loved your purchases. Thanks Hannah :)
As always this video is fantastic... maybe not for you Hannah 😅😅😅 quite manic but a wonderful atmosphere xxx thanks lovely xxxx
Thanks Hannah. Lots of fun as always!
Thank youu Hannah! I'm flying to London for the first time in 2 weeks time. Your channel has been giving me useful guides on what to do
I remember watching your last video here. So much fun again! Thanks Hannah!
Hi hannah 😊so busy,love your little stamp❤
Love it thank for showing us around ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hi hannah, great video, good trip. Also the pub trip was good. there was a lot carnage that day but you handled it with grace, ease, and humour as always.thanks.
Hannah, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for giving me a tour of London and surrounding areas each week. Keep up the good work, kiddo.🇨🇦
Wow - so many stalls to browse - lovely! Thank you, Hannah!
Great Video once again, loved seeing all the stalls.
Fun to see. No way am I going on a Saturday. Way too many people. Loved seeing the variety of things. The color homes are quite pretty. Thanks for braving the crowd to do this video!😊
I haven't been to Notting Hill for ages! The houses are lovely but personally if I had to pay those property prices I wouldn't want that noise or people posing on my doorstep constantly. London really does have the food in markets, I've watched all your videos and I reckon London Borough must have the best food selection. To me Notting Hill is London culture its a must see.
So beautiful Hannah & love ❤️ your vlogs of London England 🇬🇧 so much!
Great Job Hannah, shopping on $10 Tuesday & actually having $1 left!!! You are a very keen shopper to be able to find 2 items for only $9!!! It seems that Portobello Road is always packed with people on the weekends, but you did a nice job Hannah, navigating through the chaos to show us all the "bits & bobs" that are there! Thx again Hannah for sharing this part of London, & I am also very glad that you had such beautiful weather! Have a great week Hannah, & I look forward to your next vlog on Friday! In the meantime, stay safe!!!
Hannah,
I would be shocked, and delighted to receive a letter with an ornate "H" or " Alices White rabbit" stamp on the back, only to find out its not from you. Oh well life goes on.
Some lovely looking homes I think a little to busy for me to want to live there full time.
Enjoyed this video seeing the market again, changed a lot since I was last there.
Stay safe and have fun - see you on Friday.
Steve
Thank you for this video! It prepared us for our visit to this place during our London trip last week!
Hi hannah this quite an interesting vlog /video seeing somewhere different that's a very very busy market I really love your vlogs/videos taking us along with you to all these different places in London.i am really chilling out watching this vlog/video.really enjoying watching thank you so much again hannah for taking us along with you again.from Dan.m👍👍👍👍👍🖐
I have been binge watching your videos for a week now safe to say I love your content!! I'm hoping to study uni at London and these type of videos are amazing, could you please do more shopping vlogs at Tesco or Sainsbury's I'd love to watch more of those videos 🩷🩷
Hannah, Thank you and bless you for enduring this mass of humanity for your fans! Just like when you were looking through the prints and the woman acted as if that space belonged to her! I could feel myself getting jittery and wanting to escape, and I wasn't even there! You are a better girl than I am. Loved learning about the area. Thanks.
Fantastic flashback for me my first trip to London many moons ago! I love the Bramley Hedge China have 2 pieces hoping to come back in Sept after 30 years lol Thanks Hannah love anywhere you take us!
The colorful house are beautiful! I would definitely live in the pastel purple one.
Evening Hannah thank you for vlog on Portobello Road haven't been there in ages. Too many people for my liking. Enjoyed it thank you.
Wow thanks for walking through the crowds great video love looking at the shops
Well done for videoing!! What a mad crazy place on a Saturday 😳🤯 I’ll definitely give it a miss at the weekends x
Thanks for enduring the crowds. This was a fun one!
Fun as always😊. Thanks for bringing some "shine" in our lives.
Love your vlog , haven't been to London for ages , forgot how cool Portobello market is ,love it 🤩
Another exciting vlog. It’s so nice to see places that I will probably never see in person. I’m now looking for a stamp for my envelopes. Looking forward to Friday.
Well Hannah, I've been noticing. Your little Sony vlogging camera appears to be doing a great job for you. It focuses well. Not constantly hunting or stuck on blur. I like the way colours look too. The Portobello Market vegetable offerings look to be the best value of the lot. Are they only open on Saturday? It's kind of crazy busy, no? Fame and notoriety bring the crowds! I hope you had a very nice rest of your day. Take care. ❤See you Friday. 🌺🌸🌷
You are a brave soul, conquering all those tight crowd...bravo Hannah 😎
Great vlog Hannah 😊
I couldn’t sleep and was pleasantly greeted with your video. I deeply appreciate that you braved the crowds!! And what a lovely stamp you bought. I hope you were able to find an ink pad for it. 🧡🧡
Yes, you are right - many French people due to school holidays in France. Thank you Hannah.
Always ur videos so awesome 💯😊
