Notting Hill is one of the most famous neighbourhoods in London. And certainly one of the prettiest!
If I could associate the word “colour” with an area in London, it would be with Notting Hill. Rows and rows of beautifully maintained multi-coloured houses have been attracting tourists and locals alike. You will find them(and me 😉 ) clicking multitude of pictures and browsing through the numerous shops along the Portobello Market. Some may possibly be also looking for the “House with the Blue Door” made famous by the Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts movie “Notting Hill”.
I love going to Notting Hill on weekends, just for my dose of weekend wanderings. Walking is certainly one of my favourite and one of the best ways to explore London, and Notting Hill is no different. There are so many cafes and restaurants in Notting Hill that are on my wish-list (air quotes 😉 ) that I find myself going there time and again. Eating and walking in London – that’s a pretty good weekend plan, don’t you think? 😀
So, let’s take a walk and see Notting Hill in 20 photos.

Such a quirky embellished umbrella to have in your garden?!

Play of colours
It’s not all pastel, some go bold too.
Quirky wall art and prints
Books for Cooks not only sells cookbooks but also holds cookery classes.
Just across the cookbook shop, how convenient 😉
Crisps Kebab, bought from the Saturday Market. Complete rip-off I must admit 🙁
Food stalls in the street market
And florists!
The gems you can only find by wandering through the bylanes of Portobello Road
