London Notting Hill Film Locations & Portobello Road Walking Tour

Walk through the filming locations of
'Notting Hill' with your guide

Meet your guide at Notting Hill Gate Station and explore Notting Hill on foot for 2 hours. This is the neighbourhood behind the 1999 film 'Notting Hill' starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, and your guide shares behind-the-scenes stories about the Blue Door, the travel bookshop, celebrity homes, trendy restaurants and bars, and quiet mews houses.

Stroll along streets lined with colourful townhouses and learn about the background and history of the area. There are plenty of photo opportunities throughout the tour.

Feel the buzz of Portobello Road Market

On market days, experience Portobello Road Market with its street performers, spice shops, antique stores and cafés. You can also try freshly made international food from the market stalls (at your own expense).

Hear stories of Notting Hill's celebrities and music

Learn how Notting Hill became home to wealthy celebrities and hear about the musicians who lived and recorded here. You also pass the building that was famous as a Caribbean community centre in the 1970s with its basement recording studio, the place where Jimi Hendrix died, and recording studios where legendary songs were made.

Finish with a cream tea at Karnak House

Finally, step inside Karnak House, whose exterior appeared in the film 'Notting Hill'. In the 1970s it was the base of a Caribbean cultural organisation for musicians and writers, and today it is a local artist's studio. Relax with a cream tea while rewatching film clips on a large TV, or enjoy it at a garden table or take it away when the weather is nice.
