Yesterday was our second market meetup in London. Our destination was Bayswater Market… some sort of open air art gallery on Bayswater Road beside Kensington Gardens. The weather was perfect for a stroll- warm and mostly sunny.

We met up at the Waffle House close to Queensway station and had a chat and breakfast. It’s lovely meeting new gaces as well as the meetup regulars. It makes photography more fun! I think I should explain to newbies what to expect during a meetup .. maybe I should next time :)

Bayswater market happens every Sunday where Bayswater Road is lines with original artworks for all tastes and budget. The artist are nice and very cheerful. They are also proud of their creations. Most of those I talked to did not bite my head off when I asked for a photograph!

After an agreeable stroll on Bayswater, we went to the park via Lancaster gate (Kensington Gardens). Kensington Gardens this time of year is full of flowers! We continued on to Hyde Park Corner in hope to catch the skating bunnies one memtioned by one of the members. We got there late so we got our caffeine/food fix and a stroll towards Speakers corner.

Park photos (including some skaters) — coming soon!

Our destination was the famous Portobello Road not far from Nottinghill Gate and Lancaster Gate.

There are a couple of DSLR User readers Scarebare and IvoreTower present. It was good to see new faces to share and enjoy a day wandering and taking photographs.

Check out the photographs taken by everyone present!

Special thanks to the entertainers for letting us close without grumping, to the lovely lady at Capel Antiques on #2 front centre stall, 100 Portobello Road for allowing us to photograph her silverwares, the crafty guy who sells beautifully crafted home decorations, the camera guy with his vintage cameras and a small selection of OM lenses I want to buy and the toy seller Milan Ardalic close to the bridge. Not to forget the Castle pub on 225 Portobelo Rd where we had our late lunch. It was great and thanks for not stopping us from using our cameras.
