Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward - Notting Hill Lettings

Notting Hill has long held something of a bohemian reputation, which is still evidenced in its candy coloured houses, offbeat music venues and trove of antiques shops. Its association with the arts and artists dates back to the early 20th century, but it was in the 1960s and 1970s that the reputation it has today began to flourish. Attracted by Notting Hill’s Caribbean influenced counter culture and blues music scene, as well as the popular nearby arts college, musicians, artists and hippies flocked to the area. These days the idealised neighbourhood of Richard Curtis’s romcom Notting Hill paints a more accurate picture of the area.
