Notting Hill is of mostly known for its carnival and the film of the same name, starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts (the iconic blue door was sold by the woman who owned it, as she was fed up of tourists knocking on the door).
However there is a lot more to this thriving London residence, which is mostly made up of expensive terraced homes with communal gardens.
Years ago, many of the land was owned by the Ladbrokes (a wealthy banking family) which is why many of the streets contain the word ‘Ladbroke’.
This area is also home to Portobello Market, the world’s best-known street market that sells everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to vintage bric-a-brac. The local farmers’ market also attracts millions of visitors each year.
