The 1999 British romantic comedy movie Notting Hill, starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts still encourages visitors to the Notting Hill area every week looking for the now famous locations around Portobello Road Market.

To help you find the key film locations I've linked them here as a self-guided walking tour starting from Notting Hill Gate tube station. The walk is about 2 miles long and will take under an hour from start to finish.

1. Coronet Cinema

At 103 Notting Hill Gate, next to/opposite Notting Hill Gate tube station (depending on which exit you take) you'll find the Coronet Cinema. This is where William (Hugh Grant) watched Helix, the sci-fi movie short film starring Anna Scott (Julia Roberts).

The Coronet opened in 1898 as a theatre and was such a well-respected venue that King Edward VII saw a performance here and Sir John Gielgud saw his first Shakespeare play at the Coronet. Today it is a popular cinema for the local community and has current releases at better prices than in the West End.
