LEAD IN:

With less than 30 days until the UK is set to leave the European Union, 'Brexit' remains a hot topic of conversation for people across the country.

For these market stall holders working in one of London's iconic districts, will Brexit have any effect?

STORY-LINE:

London's Portobello Road and its surroundings are home to an array of iconic locations that have featured in many blockbuster films, from 'Paddington Bear' to 'Love, Actually'.

Tourists from across the world flock to the colourful and highly 'Instagrammable' locale to document their visit.

According to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Portobello Road Market is one of the leading antique markets in London, tracing its roots back to the nineteenth century - attracting millions of visitors a year.

Close to the celebrated Portobello Road Market, these women are taking pictures in front of the house that featured in a classic scene from the movie 'Love Actually' (2003).

In the film, Andrew Lincoln's character confesses his love for Keira Knightly's character with a series of romantic signs.

And there are more iconic front doors nearby.

This doorway was central to another memorable film scene, this time from the 1999 romantic comedy 'Notting Hill'.

It was here semi-naked actor Rhys Ifans encounters a huge media scrum at the house of the character played by Hugh Grant.

Far from the rom-com glamour of the area, stall holders are today wrestling with grittier issues.

Juan Carlos Restrebo runs this stall selling picture and photo frames.

He says that he fears the UK's impending departure from the EU as the tough economic conditions impact his business.

"I had the worst December and the worst January on record and not much better today. So I think it's going to get worse," says Restrebo.

The subject of Brexit has ignited strong opinions on both sides of the divide.

On this side street off Portobello Road, graffiti makes its pro-leave stance very clear.

For visitors to the area, however, Brexit may not be at the forefront of their concerns with such ample photo opportunities.

Twenty years after the film became a hit, these young fans have found a bookshop that featured in the movie 'Notting Hill'.

It is the place that inspired the shop where romance blossomed for Julia Robert's and Hugh Grant's characters.

While local businesses benefit from the footfall blockbusters like 'Notting Hill' bring to the area, stall holders cannot escape the political and economic realities of modern London.

Michelle runs two stalls on Portobello Road Market.

She claims Brexit has ruined her business, forcing her to work twice as hard in this current financial climate.

"All the ills of the country blamed on the EU by God knows how many, forty years by our absolutely insane right-wing media. It's destroyed my business, this isn't my business. I'm having to work two part-time jobs because my business has been destroyed and no-one's buying," says Michelle.

Mark Barr is the chairman of the Portobello Road and Golborne Management Committee.

He has been selling wooden toys and puzzles for over thirty years.

He says while trading at Portobello Road Market is currently difficult, so too are economic conditions around the world.

As for Brexit, he says nobody can predict how it will impact the market.

Barr explains: "None of us knows what's going to happen come March. Trading at the moment, again, trading is difficult. Everything, I mean, there's financial downturns worldwide so there's going to be a financial downturn here. So, I don't know how Brexit is going to affect the market or affect us."

"We'll just have to deal with things as they come because the decision is not ours to take what happens, so we're just waiting for it to happen and finish. We just want it over with whatever they're going to do. So we can deal with any problems or any solutions that are needed to be found."

For some traders, however, Brexit does not seem to be a topic of conversation.

Alex Boden works outside the instantly recognisable antique shop which features in 'Paddington 2' (2017).

"We don't really talk about Brexit to be quite honest, it's not a big subject in the market trade that I'm aware of any way to be quite honest. We'll be here before and after Brexit," Boden says.

Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29.
