This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the bustling morning trade at Portobello Road market in 1969. In the immediate foreground, a Metropolitan Police officer in a traditional custodian helmet is seen in profile, seemingly talking on his radio. To his left, a crowd of shoppers in vibrant late-sixties attire—including women in sleeveless shifts, a yellow floral dress, and a purple mini-skirt—peruse the outdoor antique stalls. The stalls are laden with vintage ceramics, silver-plated teapots, and glassware, set against the backdrop of the “Antique Arcade” and the “Dolphin Antique Arcade.” While the Victorian and Edwardian buildings still stand today, many have since been remodelled with extra storeys or updated windows. This digital download provides a vivid window into the fashion and street life of West London, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
