A walking guide to this historic London neighbourhood, uncovering its countercultural roots.
A delightful English/Japanese pocket-size guide to London's most popular district. Through four walks London writer Julian Mash uncovers the history, culture and fascinating characters that have made Notting Hill so iconic. Beautifully laid out including several photographic images and four hand-drawn maps, the guide will appeal to both tourists and residents alike.
'A very handsome book.'
-- Robert Elms'It is not just about what you see when you walk, but who you will meet, says Julian Mash in his guidebook-cum-cultural history, advocating the Dickensian tradition of observing and interacting. The west London district has been associated with carnival, the romcom and swanky residents. Mash does not deny these aspects but shows W11 warts and all, taking us on four main walks: around the market, the carnival route, the area's culture and its buildings, with a brief postscript on Grenfell. A cute, smartly packaged book with annotated maps and a full, tourist-friendly Japanese translation.'
