Notting Hill is the perfect place to spend a day in London. As an iconic West London neighborhood, it is a favorite destination for London culture buffs. With working-class roots for those who were unable to locate to Chelsea or Kensington, it is one of the best places to get the London experience.


Notting Hill seems to have it all: pretty gardens, colorful terraced houses, quirky backstreets, murals, restaurants, bars, shops, cafes, and the famous Portobello Market. It’s not hard to see why Notting Hill is one of the London destinations. Related: A Neighborhood Guide to London’s Marylebone


The area is also world-famous due to the movie of the same name (1999), starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts – and of course, the hugely popular Notting Hill Carnival, held annually (over two days each August). The carnival is a celebration and continuation of the Caribbean roots of many residents that settled in the area in the mid-Twentieth Century.


It’s now a vibrant, fashionable area, associated with affluent residents and a buzzing social scene. It attracts visitors from all over and is known for being picturesque. In the 21st Century, Notting Hill has been home to British celebrities and public figures, from actors, musicians, and politicians.
