Because the theme of the upcoming week's lesson is London in Film, which included viewing Notting Hill before arriving, I decided to pay a visit to the real Notting Hill to visit the famous Portobello Road Market. It was an amazing experience! There were various street vendors selling everything from crepes, to pocket watches, to silver wares. I even saw a pair of black cats sleeping in a storefront window!
One of the best things I saw all day though, was a group of Jewish men playing folk songs on the street. People were clapping along and laughing as the men played; the fiddle player had some of the fastest fingers I've ever seen!
In general, I would recommend Notting Hill to everyone, and I will definitely be going back!
