Most cafes and many shops are open, and there may be forecourt traders at the southern end of Portobello Road.

Bank Holidays
The street market is open on Good Friday until 4pm, but closed on other bank holidays.
Antiques Arcades
The antiques arcades off Portobello Road between Chepstow Villas and Westbourne Grove only open on Saturdays, most from 7am till about 4pm.
Shops & Cafes
In Portobello Road from Notting Hill to the Westway, most shops and cafes open seven days a week. Shops normally open at around 10am Monday to Saturday, later on Sundays. Coffee shops usually open earlier, many at around 7am for breakfast.
North of the Westway and in Golborne Road, most cafes open every day, but not many of the shops open on Sundays, so if you have a particular shop to visit, it’s a good idea to check with them first.
