Cars in Portobello Road, London.

When I was a child my grandmother would take me to the market in London.
One of the highlights of this visit was watching the china sellers tossing crockery to each other building up to entire dinner services carefully stacked in their arms and thrown across.
I've tried to find a video of this wonder without success.
Does anyone remember seeing this?
It was quite something to watch!

How London first gentrified, then became bourgeois.

Gentrification has made the entire inner ring around the center of the British capital unaffordable.
