Portobello Road Market is a street market located in Portobello Road in the Notting Hill area of West London. The world-famous part of it sells antiques and draws many tourists. The main market day for antiques is Saturday. However, there are also many fruit and vegetable stalls in the market serving local residents (which tend to be further north than the antiques) and these trade throughout the week. The market started as a fresh food market in the nineteenth century: antiques dealers arrived in the 1960s.

Nag's Head, Holloway is a locality in North London, in the Borough of Islington. It is the centremost of the three Holloway districts of Islington.
It was originally named after the Nag's Head public house in the Holloway Road (the A1). The pub changed names (despite stiff local resistance) when it was bought by a pub chain, O'Neills, and closed permanently in early 2004. It is currently being used as a furniture shop.
