I grew up in Notting-Hill Had a stint living in Chelsea (hated the neighbours and braying hooray henry's every weekend but loved being able to walk to knightsbridge ,Kings Rd etc etc) Then moved back to Notting Hill.

Moved here just over two years ago because we could afford a large house, as opposed to a one bed in west London, and also because my boyfriend worked nearby and I could get to work in the West end in 45mins.
Love It! Have no regrets, its a really friendly area, great independent shops, For movies we tend to go to Brixton on the P4 or Beckenham for blockbusters.
I do however wish that we had a mini Wholefoods style supermarket, selling organic and health food. Thats it really.
