Notting Hill/ Portobello Road notoriously known for its Carnival during August bank holiday weekend. Walking through the streets of Notting Hill it is clear to see that you don't get the full atmosphere going here on a week day during 'non market day' and so of course it was a disappointing visit. I noticed that shop windows were slightly different in this area with a lot of antiques as well as a lot of contemporary inspired interior shops. The highlight of this was the Humming Bird Bakery... I bought a red velvet cupcake and it was without a doubt the best cupcake I have ever eaten I'm annoyed with myself that I never bought more.
