A 1970s colour photo of the iconic storefront of “Alice’s” antique shop on Portobello Road in Notting Hill during the latter half of the 20th century. The shop’s vibrant red facade is partially covered by a large hand-painted banner featuring cherubs and the name “Alice’s,” while a collection of vintage advertising mirrors—including those for “Dewar’s Special Whiskies,” “Absinthe Robette,” and “Coca-Cola”—are displayed for sale outside. A stack of vintage tins, featuring brands like Oxo, Bisto, and Cadbury’s, sits on a table in front of the window, alongside a traditional black bowler hat. A crowd of shoppers in late-seventies attire, including textured knits and padded jackets, gathers to browse the curiosities. This famous shop has been a landmark of the Portobello Road Market since the 19th century and remains a popular destination for collectors and tourists.
