It is a must-go-place whenever I am in London.The road is about one mile long-full of activities with sounds, sights and smells of its own.I usually bought a cup of cuppucino and walk the street.Then I will visit a few antiques shops and come home with a few old books.I cannot remember who took this photo, but I wish to thank him.

maybe you should let your hair grow again!
For me it's ok if I don't visit Portobello Street but I must visit Foyles and Hamleys everytime I go to London.

You look more handsome with long hair, Abedib .... don't have to mention that it was 10 years ago......
Did you meet Sandra Bullock (am I right?) then? he he

Gabra,
Yes,Foyles and Hamleys.The first is the grandmother of bookshop and the second is the granfather of toyshops;-)I like both of them.
Fauzi,
Not Sandra Bullock( I like her acting) but I expect Julia Roberts-just like the movie.After I came back from that trip,I thought I want to open a bookshop.By the way,I coined a name but it didnot material~ABC=Adib Book Cafe(or air batu campur;-)

I don't think I ever visited Portobello Road, altho I've been to Petticoat Lane. I love the row of bookshops along Charing Cross Road. I remember going there to look for 84 Charing Cross Road which is the name of the book and also movie starring Anthony Hopkins and the late Anne Bancroft.

Chet,
I do enjoy bookshops hopping along Charing Cross Rd.I read the book and went to the site only to see a plaque.Sadly,I have not got the opportunity to see the movie.
