CV10 Vision for Portobello Road in 2028

Portobello Road Market will continue to be a vibrant and distinctive street market serving the day-today needs of local residents and attracting visitors from across the world. The market will remain the UK’s principal wholesale antiques trade centre for the storage and sale of antiques, an inspiration for designers and a seed-bed for new entrepreneurs. The centre will maintain a rich variety of small independent shops offering ‘something different’. The link between Portobello and Golborne markets will have been strengthened and links between Ladbroke Grove and Portobello Market will also be improved. Kensal Portobello Elizabeth Line station will provide a valuable new transport link to the area.

The land underneath and adjacent to this part of the Westway will have been developed by Westway Trust with sensitivity to the history of the area to provide a multi-use cultural venue and indoor and outdoor market space that is flexible and can adapt to changing fashions over time.
