Oh, who am I kidding. What else could I possibly highlight about Notting Hill today but the impending Carnival. This is essentially the sole feature to be had in the neighbourhood this weekend anyway. Be a part of it, enjoy it, leave it with a strong desire to live in Notting Hill, then call us to schedule an appointment to view your new Notting Hill flat. So simple!

It’s Notting Hill Carnival! At the risk of being redundant with our earlier post, we would be remiss not to comment on this grand fete going into the weekend of its occurrence. This is just one of those events that makes me give a double-take to the Notting Hill neighbourhood. Just when you might fear it will become too gentrified to appease tourists, its diverse background rears its head and strikes out with a lashing of eccentric, multicultural festivities to remind us of the Caribbean demographic that once dominated these streets and celebrate the general joy and debauchery of life. This is a time when Notting Hill really lets its hair down and decks itself out in color and glitter, entertaining the masses with vibrant costumes and ethnic music and cuisine. Sunday is Kid’s Day, which will appeal to you if you’re looking for a lower-key experience of Carnival; otherwise, if you’re ready to swim in the sea of parade-watchers, mark down the bank holiday Monday in your diary.
If you come to the area this weekend, commit to the Carnival experience–your other favourite shops and eateries will likely be closed if not boarded up to brace against the onslaught. Cheers to those of you moving to the neighbourhood this week–what better way to kick off your new tenancy! If you’re looking to move to the area after things settle down a bit and you can actually view the buildings, Notting Hill Properties will have braved the eclectic storm and still be here for your call!
Carrying on UK tradition with pride!
A mere two Tube stops away from Notting Hill Gate, Earls Court is hosting the annual Great British Beer Festival.
