This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the bohemian atmosphere and musical soul of Portobello Road in 1966. The central figure is a young busker with long wavy hair, wearing a striped jumper and dark trousers, intently playing an acoustic guitar for the gathering crowd. He stands next to a light-coloured car, which is parked along the narrow street. The background is filled with the historic terraced storefronts of Notting Hill, including “Walter Hildreth Ltd” and “Portobello Antiques,” shaded by classic green and white striped canvas awnings. A diverse crowd of market-goers surrounds the performer, including a man with a young child on his shoulders and a woman in a floral headscarf in the foreground. This image perfectly illustrates the intersection of traditional market life and the burgeoning counter-culture movement of the mid-sixties. This digital download is a marvellous record of London’s social and musical heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage wall art.
