On most evenings, you can find tourists poking their heads in and out of the vintage shops on Portobello Road and residents\u2014ranging from young professionals to A-list\u00a0celebrities\u2014carrying grocery bags home from the market along the quiet, cobblestone side streets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While the neighborhood exudes proper\u00a0English charm for about 363 days out of the year, there are 2 days in August where full-on\u00a0partying\u00a0takes center stage. The Notting Hill Carnival is second only to Rio de Janeiro&#8217;s Carnival, attracting more than two million visitors each year. The cultural celebration takes place around the neighborhood and over the years has turned into one of the best outdoor festivals in the world. Whether you visit on a quiet spring day or during lively\u00a0Carnival in August, here are 8 reasons Notting Hill will\u00a0surely charm your London-loving socks off:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=london+hotels+orbitz&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> 5 London splurges you can now afford<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50741\" style=\"width: 477px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50741\" class=\"wp-image-50741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120.jpg\" alt=\"London-NottingHill_CompassAndTwine\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120.jpg 3456w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6120-1250x1875.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Painted facades around the neighborhood | Photo by Compass + Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>1.

Quaintly situated on lamp-lit corners or tucked in among the colorful flats, these neighborhood watering-holes offer a top-notch pub experience. On a warm summer evening, snag a sidewalk seat\u00a0outside the Hillgate or a gardentable in the back of Windsor Castle. The former is known for its outstanding pub food (believe it!), while the latter\u00a0offers a solid array of specialty drinks and\u00a0craft beers. When it&#8217;s a brisk winter&#8217;s eve\u00a0and you want a cozy locals&#8217; spot, check out Uxbridge Arms\u00a0for your final pint of the night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50756\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50756\" class=\"wp-image-50756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o.jpg\" alt=\"London-NottingHill_CompassAndTwine\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o.jpg 2508w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o-1250x938.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1087492749_8b413a54db_o-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daylesford Organic | Flickr CC: Herry Lawford<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>3.
