One excellent example is Notting Hill, close to the North Western corner of Kensington Gardens. Its fine white stucco houses with their elegant pillars are set amongst a fabulous mix of specialist shops, cafés and award-winning restaurants, the splendid Coronet cinema (once a Victorian theatre) and, of course, the famous Portobello market which runs the length of the area from top to bottom. You’ll have seen the movie Notting Hill; the reality is pleasingly similar.
