Notting Hill's Colourful Past

When someone mentions Notting Hill it's almost impossible to think of anything but floppy-haired Hugh Grant bumbling his way around the streets of west London. But Flipside London, who run walking tours that aim to reveal a less familiar side of the capital, want to change that. Guide Aidan McManus will provide walkers with insights about the area that used to be London's bohemian quarter, home to slummers, the backdrop of race riots and a stronghold for punk. Tickets can be booked online.
