London is known for its antiquities
market. In fact, London has the largest antiques market in the whole
world and this is just something that I had to visit. I’m not a
fine antiques collector, but I do appreciate fine works of art so the
city was at the top of my list of places to visit during my weekend
away.
The world’s largest antiques
marketplace is Portobello Road in London. I heard that there were
dozen’s of antique shops there selling all sorts of things that
date all the way back to the Roman times. Fortunately, my guidebook
said that Portobello Road wasn’t that hard to find. Unfortunately,
I wasn’t too confident in my way-finding skills and felt it would
be better to take a taxi - the tube or bus would have been cheaper,
but I wanted to be sure I could get there early and preferred to
spend my time browsing the shops instead of trying to find my way
around the labyrinth that is London.
It didn’t take me very long to get
from my hotel to Portobello Road. Taking a taxi wasn’t such a bad
idea after all since I did get the chance to take a look at different
parts of the city
