Market days and Carnival weekend
On Saturdays the market fills Portobello Road from Chepstow Villas up towards Golborne Road, and access is either closed or effectively blocked by footfall. Collections from addresses on or beside the market street are made from Kensington Park Road or Ladbroke Grove, both of which stay open and both of which are a short walk away.
Carnival is a larger undertaking. Road closures cover much of W11 and parts of W10 over the bank holiday weekend, with residents' access restricted and parking suspended across a wide perimeter. Residents who intend to leave for the weekend usually depart on the Friday, and we recommend booking that departure well in advance because demand across the area concentrates into a few hours.
