Notting Hill is a 1999 film directed by Roger Michell. It focuses on the life of a book shop owner (Hugh Grant), who's life drastically changes when a well know Actress named Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) comes into town and they begin to fall in love.
The film Notting Hill is not a true representation of this particular part of London, its very much a Hollywood Glamour take on the area. The film fails to show the racial diversity that Notting Hill is known for, with the likes of is very famous Notting Hill Carnival that celebrates the Afro-Caribbean community and culture. Instead it focuses on that of the white middle class which is only a small portion of the people that actually live there.
