North Kensington is the key neighbourhood of Notting Hill.
It is where most of the violence of the race riots occurred, where the Notting Hill Carnival started and where most of the scenes in the film, Notting Hill were shot.

The area's main transport hub, Ladbroke Grove tube station, was called Notting Hill from its opening in 1864 until 1919.
The name was changed then to avoid confusion with the new Notting Hill Gate station.
Ladbroke Grove is the area's main thoroughfare.

Estate agents now call the super-rich area to the south Notting Hill when referring to Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park.

North Kensington was once well known for its slum housing.
However, North Kensington retains high levels of poverty and unemployment and a high-proportion of social housing for rent.

Waves of immigration to the area have occurred for at least a century, including, but certainly not limited to, people of Irish, Jewish, Caribbean, Spanish, and Moroccan extraction.
This constant renewal of the population makes the area one of the most cosmopolitan in the world.
