CHAPTER 02

Notting Hill · The Notting Hill Bookshop

Hugh Bonneville is credited as cast member on Notting Hill. The work’s existing location story leads to The Notting Hill Bookshop. Visit London identifies The Notting Hill Bookshop as a setting and inspiration for the film's fictional travel shop. The real shop is on Blenheim Crescent; the film's exterior was filmed nearby and the interior was recreated, so the World keeps inspiration and camera geography distinct.
