 <\/p>\n

A mini guide to Notting Hill<\/h4>\n

Head for West London and you come to Notting Hill, famous for it’s annual carnival and market. Most of the year, the area is has a steady flow of visitors passing through. There are restaurants to try, Portobello Market to browse and movie locations to find! Yep, this area isn’t just for the fashionista.<\/p>\n

Saturday is your day to visit the market, big on antiques and packed with bargain hunters. You may just find something special if you search hard enough. When August bank holiday arrives, well, that’s when Notting Hill really thrusts itself into the public’s eye! The Carnival runs over the entire weekend, and close to a million people descend on the area. Steel drum bands, calypso music and food mix to create the biggest street festival in Europe.<\/p>\n

Now, back to their journey around this most desirable of districts.<\/p>\n

Starting the tour of Notting Hill<\/h4>\n

The two of them began their journey from the Notting Hill tube station, where they met their tour guide. From there it was to the residential district for the first part of the walk. The symmetric houses painted in hues of pink, yellow and blue blended perfectly with the autumn shades. Impressed by the surroundings, Gaurav and Gavin decided to do a quick photo shoot. The guide was advising on the places to pose and took control of the shot. ‘Stand here, arms there! Now walk towards me! ‘<\/p>\n

This area they were to learn, is a favourite of fashion bloggers and vloggers. It wasn’t hard to see why, so why not give it a try? You can’t do any worse than the boys!<\/p>\n
