Portobello Road runs north from Notting Hill, with the market stalls beginning near the Westway flyover. The area is defined by its long, winding street market, which operates on different days for antiques, food, and general goods. Victorian terraced houses in pastel colours line the surrounding streets.

The market's focus shifts along its length, from everyday produce at the southern end to antiques and collectibles further north. A specific local landmark is the Electric Cinema on Portobello Road, one of the oldest cinemas in Britain. The residential streets off the main road are quieter, with small independent shops and cafes.
