There’s so much more to Notting Hill than pastel-coloured houses and famous movies (and, yes that’s a dig at you, Julia Roberts). Brimming with fashionable restaurants, stylish book shops, bars and shops (more like boutiques), it’s also home to one of the world’s most famous markets: Portobello Road Market. Love a good party? The beautiful long stretch of west London road also plays host to the continent’s biggest street party, the Notting Hill Carnival.
Aside from the obvious, Notting Hill is prime #doorporn territory. Pink, red, blue, white, gold – every colourful chunk of wood imaginable is dotted around these parts. And did we mention the quirky backstreets, and pretty gardens? Total Instagram heaven. That good, huh? Yes. That’s why we decided to grab some of the city’s top Instagrammers and go on a grammin’ walking tour of Notting Hill with them. Here are some of the highlights – and who knows, you might just be inspired enough to go on your very own walking adventure.
