London Neighborhood Guide #5

For a day in Notting Hill

Home to some of the most iconic movie scenes from Love Actually, Harry Potter, Paddington, and of course the 1999 film Notting Hill. There’s no shortage of photo ops in this neighborhood. It can be defined by the colorful houses, antique markets, and yearly Carnival festival. I’m really glad you voted for Notting Hill as the next neighborhood guide. I used to go more frequently and reminiscing whilst creating this makes me want to go back. It’s tourist-heavy on the weekends (for a good reason) and sometimes throughout the week but it’s not one to miss if you know where to go! Notting Hill is *not so hidden* but very much a *gem* of west London.

I’ve broken down this guide into 3 sections: eat & drink, play, and stay. My hope is that it’ll make your trip planning much easier! For a day in Notting Hill I recommend picking 1-2 options from both the eat & drink section and the play section. Give yourself plenty of time and soak it up! Let’s get to it shall we!?
