Though this shop might feel a little small, it has items in every nook and cranny, so it’s a little bit like a treasure shop. When there in early June, it has everything from new mugs to vintage glass bottles to old road signs to bigger trunks and furniture-like items. For printing, it seemed to be mid-range. Some of the vintage bottles were in the ballpark of £10−12, mid-sized trunks and other vintage items were £50−100(depending on what it was), while some more noteworthy items were several hundred pounds. I definitely recommend taking a look if you like vintage items since its a bit of a treasure trove.

Attention ! Gros coup de coeur ! Les balades du côté de Portobello réservent toujours de belles surprises. Je suis vraiment tombée par hasard dans cette boutique d’antiquités et ouahouuu ! J’ai juste eu envie de tout acheter. Je suis une grande fan d’objets vintage avec un petit côté historique. Et cette boutique est remplie de trésors ! Je né sais même pas comment vous la décrire. Un vrai bric à brac d’objets en tout genre où des balles de cricket côtoient de la porcelaine fleurie en faisant de l’oeil à des portemanteaux sans âge. En fait, il faut que vous y alliez absolument pour vous rendre compte par vous même du charme atypique de cette boutique. De mon côté, j’ai craqué sur une vieille balle de criket, une boîte de conserve de 1930 et un appareil photo Paxette(qui a rendu l’âme depuis belle lurette) avec son étui en cuir d’origine. Petit +: Les prix sont les moins élevés du marché de Portobello ! A titre d’exemple, l’appareil photo m’a coûté 15 £ alors que dans les autres boutiques, je n’en ai pas trouvé à moins de 25 £.

This place is amazing! I think i spent a full hour in here looking and discovering tons of brilliant British antiques. They had a few volumes of really interesting books such as old encyclopedias, a photograph history of the wars, and even a few volumes of a book called a collection of practical knowledge, which I thought was amusing. The collection ranges from signs to trunks to model forms and old toy double decker busses. They also had a good amount of old sports equipment like cricket, polo, and rugby balls. I ended up buying a pair of boxing gloves from the 1940s and a particularly intriguing statue of a head with descriptions of which parts of the brain process things in life. It’s just a really fun store to browse through and I think anyone could find something they wanted. The prices are pretty reasonable mostly for the items I wanted but other things were overpriced such as a small Fire bucket that was 56 pounds which I thought was a bit extravagant. Still definitely worth a browse though.
