Media Reviews
'There is no better place to live in London and no better guide.' Sebastian Faulks 'An essential guide for residents and visitors alike.' Mariella Frostrup 'For those who imagine Notting Hill to be only a film or a state of mind, here is the antidote:a wonderfully human and spirited guide to an elusive district. Immediately gives the reader a sense of being an insider.' Colin Thubron
