Read a couple of books in the last few months featuring Portobello. In The Fanatic by James Robertson the "hero" goes down to the shows at the end of the book. And I've just finished Maggie O'Farrell's latest (if you haven't read "After You'd Gone" you really ought) in which the final romantic meeting takes place on Portobello beach.
Any more literary Portobello references that people are aware of?
