The Notting Hill Bookshop

Good place to visit because of the film. It’s crowded at peak time tho. I love the wall with postcards from all over the world.

My pieces of movie nostalgia tho this is not the one for filming (The bookshop in the movie is called “The Travel Book Company”, but the real store it’s based on was called “The Travel Bookshop” located on Portobello Road). Notting Hill bookshop is smaller than I imagined but quite a cosy and nice enough to find yourself a souvenir. I had a great me-time browsing the shelves and finding some inspirational quotes, getting myself a book and some postcards. This area is a very nice and picturesque neighborhood. You can wander around lovely Portobello road filled with colorful houses, antique shops and bars restaurants. Don't skip these if you are London lovers

Way too busy inside for the size of the book shop, you’d get stuck if you’re in. Cute tote bags and enamel merch, but other than that, I wouldn’t go in there again. It is just a small ordinary book shop, although might be special for those who came cos of the movie. Outside of the bookshop is good for pics, you can lean on the window seal and pose :)

Gorgeous book shop. But it's a tiny shop with lots of visitors so try to go when less busy to really appreciate a wonderful experience

It was very special and nice experience visiting this place in that we are familiar with this from the movie 'Notting Hill' where Hugh and Julia acted very well. It was very crowded when we visited, I don't know this is because of that famous movie or not, but I think it is. Frankly speaking, this is just a book shop we can see everywhere. But this could be only special for that movie fans

The Notting Hill Bookshop is an absolute gem and a must-visit for book lovers in London. Nestled in the charming neighborhood of Notting Hill, this cozy and quaint bookshop offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The selection of books is wonderfully curated, featuring a mix of contemporary bestsellers, timeless classics, and unique finds. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or help you find exactly what you're looking for. The shop's connection to the famous movie "Notting Hill" adds an extra layer of charm and nostalgia. Whether you're a local or a tourist, visiting this delightful bookshop is a truly magical experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves books and enjoys exploring independent bookshops.

Spend my morning there before it got busy. Good choice of books, notebooks, lucky 🍀 dip books, tote bags… atmosphere and advices from staff. Honestly , if you like books and good bookshop, find a time to come there out of pick hours and enjoy its beauty.

Notting Hill Bookshop is a vibrant and fun place to explore, although if you're seeking a tranquil reading atmosphere, it might not be the ideal spot due to its lively ambiance. Nevertheless, the store offers an array of books and charming souvenirs like the postcards and tote bags. The prices are reasonable, especially when considering the central London location. It's a must-visit destination for book lovers looking for an engaging experience while browsing through an eclectic collection

You won't be the only one trying to snap a photo in front of the store! What I love about this place is that the shop is actually cute on the inside and although a popular tourist spot thanks to Julia and Hugh, it's a great bookshop on its own. What I was surprised about was that a number of other book shops have popped up in Notting Hill trying to catch the tourists, but this is the OG.

I love to purchase a book from a bookstore while traveling. This bookstore is very cute and has a good selection.

I suppose this is a cool spot if you're a big fan of the movie. However, just remember that there are tons of people who are there for the same reason. They sell lots of swag and shopping bags from the movie as well.

When I travel, one of my favorite things to do is to locate and a visit independent bookstores. I must admit, being a fan of the movie Notting Hill I had to visit this cute little shop modeled after the one in the movie. The real shop that was used in the movie is a souvenir shop. This store is so cute and filled with all kinds of books. I ended up buying a couple of books along with a tote bag. I could have spent hours in here mulling through section by section of all the interesting books they carry. We had more sightseeing to do so I was in and out within an hour. Their children's area was magical with a windowed roof to allow the sunshine in. This area also featured cute little stools and a table for reading.The travel section was loaded with all kinds of books on faraway places. The staff were helpful and kind and I would recommend a stop here if you are a book lover like me while visiting this very charming neighborhood of London.

A cool indie bookstore made famous by the movie starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. The shop is popular amongst tourists wanting to snap their pic in the storefront, and mostly people just go in to gawk without buying anything. Because of this, the staff is a little on the cold side and not super helpful. The shop is small, but has a pretty impressive selection. It's also organized nicely making it easy to browse and find your next favorite title. Prices are standard, and if you're a fan of the film, still a cool little stop to make as the area surrounding is fun to explore.

I love independent book stores. While dropping my daughter off to do her study abroad in London we visited the Notting Hill Bookshop, lured there, mostly, because of the movie which featured a bookstore modeled after this one. It was lovely inside. In addition to a good selection of books, they had nice gifts and a decent children's section. We each bought a book and one of their great canvas tote bags. The area has other shops and restaurants.

This store was fantastic! I'm not a big reader (I was here as a tourist bc of the movie), but the selection got me really excited to read. I was most mesmerized by the beautifully decorated leather bound older children's books like The Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland. Beyond that, there were fantastic looking books across an array of topics that piqued my interest. If I lived closer, I think I'd be there on a regular basis, which says a lot coming from someone who only buys online and doesn't typically read books.

The Notting Hill Bookshop was originally called the "Travel Book Co." in the romantic comedy Notting Hill (1999), which the shop was run by the Hugh Grant character.
