Notting Hill's most colourful streets

We’re sure that you have heard of Notting Hill, we mean, who hasn’t? But, it’s not just an iconic 2000’s movie, it’s one of London’s most popular neighbourhoods! One of the things that Notting Hill is most famous for is having some pretty colourful roads which is a nice change from the classic brick look that we tend to see everywhere else. If you’re interested in learning more about where in Notting Hill you can see these colourful homes, then you’ve come to the right place!

Lancaster Road

If you’re looking for some bolder colours, then you should be heading towards Lancaster Road where you will find exactly what you were searching for. From bold purples to deep blues and even an in your face yellow, this road is a beauty to behold. It’s a pretty busy place, so if you want to get a good picture you’re going to have to try and be pretty fast, else you’re going to have cars flying by, essentially photo-bombing your photo!

Elgin Crescent

Elgin Crescent boasts a beautiful range of colours, giving your colour palette a real test. There are some more muted shades for some of the homes, where some of them are a little louder, standing out a little more in the crowd. This blend is beautifully done, with no particular house outshining another on the road.

A fun fact about this road is that the former mayor of London, Boris Johnson, actually used to live here a long time ago. It was built back in the late 1850’s and 1860’s, so the homes here are pretty old if historical architecture holds any interest for you!

Portobello Road

Notting Hill has many beautiful roads, but Portobello Road is probably one of the busiest. There are a number of reasons for this, including but not limited to the fact that it is one of the most colourful roads throughout the entire country. It’s such a busy place, so if you do plan to visit here then you need to be prepared for there to be people pretty much everywhere, especially if it’s market day! Market day is a massive deal for those who love Portobello Road Market, so it’s an experience that we recommend taking part in!

Something that you should know about Portobello road is that some of the other most colourful roads come off of this one, so go exploring and see what you can find.

Colville Terrace

The final road on this list is Colville Terrace, and the reason that we want to mention this one is because you will find some pretty unusual colours here. While a lot of the homes in Notting Hill are colourful, this is where you are going to find the broadest range. Depending on which end of the road you are on, it’s like you’re in a completely different place.
