Notting Hill

the famous blue door of Hugh Grant’s house in the film Notting Hill. Apparently the lady who bought the house from Richard Curtis got so fed up of film fans turning up that she sold the door at auction and replaced it with a plain black one.

Loved it

I’d like to go for several reasons.

1. The film, I love the movie and would love to go.
2. Portobello Road, thanks to another film, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Love that film!

Well, those are two reasons anyway. And I was born in England so I’d like to get to know the country as I havn’t been there since I was 20 months old.

I went to the Notting Hill Carnival today. I’ve never seen so many people in 1 place in my life. I guess that’s what you get at the worlds largest street party.

I went to Notting Hill.

There I found the real Travel Bookshop. The one owned by Hugh Grant in the movie was actually a furniture store on Portobello Road.
