London

In the past, Notting Hill was known as a multicultural melting pot with a free-spirited attitude for people who couldn't afford Kensington or Chelsea. Fast forward 30 years or so and Notting Hill is now better known for its high-end boutiques, designer stores and award-winning restaurants. But despite the bankers having moved in and the sea of tourists searching for Mr Grant’s blue door, the old spirit of Notting Hill can still be found – you just need to know where to look. In the runup to its most famous export – Notting Hill Carnival, we asked West London's locals about the best spots that go beyond what you see on social media.
