Place--
Notting Hill is an area in West London,England close to the north-western corner of Hyde Park,and lying within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.It is a cosmopolitan district known as the location for the annual Notting Hill Carnival,the setting for the 1999 film Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant,and for being home to the Portobello Road Market.[1]
Notting Hill has a contemporary reputation as an affluent and fashionable area[2]; known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses,and high-class shopping and restaurants (particularly around Westbourne Grove and Clarendon Cross).A Daily Telegraph article in 2004 used the phrase "The Notting Hill Set" [3] to refer to a group of young Conservative politicians,such as leader David Cameron and shadow Chancellor George Osborne.However,the large houses have also provided multi-occupancy rentals for much of the 20th century,attracting Caribbean immigrants in the 1950s who eventually clashed with the indigenous Teddy boys in the Notting Hill race riots.
In addition,Notting Hill has had an association with artists and "alternative" culture since its development in the 1820s.[4][5] There are also areas of social deprivation to the north,[6] sometimes referred to as "North Kensington",or the "Ladbroke Grove" area,from the name of the same street.
