Another London hotspot: The Sun in Splendour pub and the start of Portobello Road

In Notting Hill, where the roads meet,

A traveller finds a most colourful treat.

Past the yellow pub's door,

And the red-fronted store,

The history is felt in the soles of your feet.


The Sun in Splendour stands bright in the sun,

Where talk of the market has just begun.

With blossoms in bloom,

There's no space for gloom,

As that hunt for a treasure is never quite done.


The stalls of Portobello now start to appear,

With trinkets and silver, lots of secondhand gear,

Where every antique

seems truly unique,

And the hum of the crowd is all that you’ll hear.
