The Kensington and Chelsea film guide maps the Portobello Road exteriors that turn William and Anna's encounter into a neighbourhood story. Unlike the recreated shop interior, this market street remains the living public geography visitors can walk today.

VisitBritain identifies Alice's Antiques on Portobello Road as the real shop redressed as Mr Gruber's antique shop. The same street is also a central Notting Hill World, creating a deliberate canonical link between the two London screen geographies.
