Portobello Road, in the Notting Hill area of London, is known for its antiques dealers. On Saturdays, vendors of everything you could imagine set up stalls in the street in the street in front of the usual shops. It turns right from this viewpoint, becoming much narrower and horribly crowded. We used to go to London in the winter to avoid the crowds but on a mild October day the hoard was too much for us.
As I mentioned on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10160630841302313&set=a.128314812312 , we have canceled the Paris half of out trip. Mass French labor protests could slow life to a crawl. There is a risk the air traffic controllers could go out on strike, which could leave thousands stranded. We're playing safe and going home from London on Tuesday.
