Different day, new adventure, same city.
Just because I moved to London now, it doesn't mean I visited every single part of this gorgeous city. That's why two months ago I promised myself I would visit a different part of the city every weekend so I would never get bored and I would have the chance to wonder around and explore.
And for this week's blogpost I wanted to share with you my short – but productive, visit around Portobello and Notting Hill.
So, where to start?
Portobello was exactly as described: a wonderful place with colourful houses and loads of flea markets. A bit like Camden, I have to say – but we all know how much I love Camden Town, therefore I'm afraid that nothing really compares to it.
What some of you may not know is that if you keep walking from Portobello Road you'll eventually get to Notting Hill and from there you can go all the way to Kensington and so on. Basically London is just a big, big city where everything is really close – if only you know where to go.
And what about Notting Hill? One of my all time favourite films was shot there, and it's such a posh but beautiful neighbourhood. Big, white houses, big streets, loads of expensive cars, but you'll always have a gorgeous view in front of you.
Best thing about this whole adventure was that I could share it with my friend Rachele, she's always up for a walk, a talk or anything really. Making friends in a new place is always hard, so when you find a good one you shouldn't let them go.
You know, it's been two months – eight weekends, since I moved here, but I will never get tired of this city.
