The northeastern end of Portobello Road beyond the Hammersmith and City line and A40 bridges is lined with a very interesting wall which has plastic boarding with the spines of LP sleeves on it. I suppose this has been done in order to reflect the number of record shops and stalls in the area. I'm not sure if this is a recent idea or one that has been here for some time - the Streetview of the location (as near as I could get it, the car obviously hasn't covered this section of the road) (http://www.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Portobello+Road,+Kensington&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=20.594096,62.53418&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Portobello+Rd,+Kensington,+Greater+London,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.521076,-0.209619&spn=0.021095,0.061069&z=15&layer=c&cbll=51.521076,-0.209619&panoid=MTtW7bTtmJP80DrNBKKxNQ&cbp=12,134.4,,0,2.87) doesn't show it being there. It's certainly a very inventive and thoughtful idea! Looking east-southeast.
