Notting hill
Back to the slightly more colourful scene of Notting Hill, which is home to yet more beautifully pastel-coloured streets such as the famed Portobello Road.
There's a variety of streets within Notting Hill that look like they came straight out of a picture book. You can choose your favourite, or even walk between streets for a full day of beautifully colourful photos!
Leake Street
The walls of the underground tunnel of Leake Street, in Lambeth, make for some fantastic and interesting backgrounds for portraits.
