Portobello is an area in Willenhall on the Wolverhampton side of the border, in the West Midlands, England. It is situated to the east of Wolverhampton city centre and to the north of Bilston, in the Bilston North ward of the city council. It was formerly part of Willenhall Urban District before Willenhall was split between Walsall and Wolverhampton.
While the railway line through Portobello remains open, the nearest station is Wolverhampton. When Willenhall Bilston Street railway station reopens – expected 2025 – that station will then become Portobello's nearest. The most prominent bus route is National Express West Midlands service 529 which stops at Portobello Island, linking Wolverhampton and Walsall. Diamond Bus West Midlands service 326 links to Bilston & Bloxwich, 303 to Bilston & Willenhall, and 23 to Bilston & Wednesbury.
Tall blocks of flats and shops in the area were at one point demolished. In 2018, the area began redevelopment, and an Aldi supermarket opposite the new housing development opened in December 2019. 52°34′54″N 2°04′27″W / 52.5816°N 2.0741°W
