Instagram Spots in Notting Hill
Lancaster Road
The starting point for will be Ladbroke Grove underground station. From here, you just need to walk a few minutes to get to the famous colorful buildings in Lancaster Road.
Not far we will find our next stop: St. Luke’s Mews.
St. Luke’s Mews
St. Luke’s Mews is probably the prettiest street in London.
This quaint street is really beautiful thanks to a perfect recipe: pastel-colored mews, cobblestoned pavement, plants and vintage bikes.
You may or may not recognize 27 St. Luke’s Mews thanks to Love Actually. This pink pastel house is where Keira Knightley gets a silent and memorable love declaration.
It may look like a movie set but it’s an actual neighborhood. Keep this in mind when taking your photos and respect the local people.
The owners of the famous pink house don’t mind that people take photos in front of it, but they ask for a donation of 1£ per person to help the local homeless people – I loved the initiative!
If you’re looking for a special place to stay at during your trip to London, you can stay in one of these mews in Notting Hill.
