Welcome to the 3 Star Elysee Hotel London
Notting Hill
A well known area in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Notting Hill was the setting of the world famous movie Notting Hill released in 1999 featuring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. The popularity of the area dramatically increased after release of the movie. Many visitors are attracted during the month of August when the area is ready for the carnival which is recognized as the second largest carnival in the world. The parade that stretches over an area of 3 miles is the main attraction of the carnival.
A massive transformation that took place during the last 20-30 years changed Notting Hill from a “no-go area” to one of London’s most fashionable residential area. Apart from the period of the carnival, Notting Hill becomes a quiet area with the exception being on Saturdays when visitors come hunting for antiques in the Portobello Market.
Reaching Notting Hill is easy by Central and Circle underground lines and by train or bus. Notting Hill in the recent past has become the most sought after area in London as it has a mixture of modern apartments, large houses and Victorian style buildings. The area provides many opportunities for travellers to experience shopping from books, clothing, accessories, flowers and organic food. A mile long Portobello Market sells different items in different days apart from the usual shopping items. A large number of restaurants and cafes such as E&O, Electric Brasserie, Lazy Daisy Cafe and Pizza Express are also conveniently located in the area.
