"Portobello Road...Portobello Road..."
"streets where the riches of ages are stowed. Anything and everything a chap can unload..." So this will mean more to myself and my siblings than others, but 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' was a fun-time, childhood classic AND HERE IT IS! The REAL Portobello Road market in London!
I must admit, from the movie, I thought Portobello Road would be a 'dicey' area, but 'Kensington' and 'Chelsea'...umm...those are probably the richest areas in London! Hmm...maybe Walt Disney saw the area during a 'bad day' ;)
Here are some homes on Portobello Road....yeah, a bit 'tight' for the Americans, I should think....
'with genuine gems!...'
'Napoleon's pistols...'
View to the right....
View to the left....
'You can eat like a king on the Portobello Road!'
Now everyone breaks into dance....first the Indians, then the Jamaicans and then the Brits....'what a wonderful world...' ;)
