London Notting Hill

Once the stopping point for those traveling between London and Uxbridge, Notting Hill is now known for its high-end fashion boutiques and upscale restaurants, most of which are located on or near Westbourne Grove . Meanwhile, its mix of mansions and artsy hangouts means that celebrity sightings—notably of Gwyneth and Posh Spice—have become commonplace. The district is dominated by Portobello Road, filled with cafes, shops, and bars, but is best known for its extensive market, which brings thousands of eager buyers every weekend. Notting Hill Gate serves the south, while Ladbroke Grove deposits you near Portobello Rd.
