Notting Hill

The best place to go is of course Notting Hill. Get off at Ladbroke Grove station and go down Lancaster Road to start magnolia hunting.

Lancaster Road

Lancaster Road is definitely a Notting Hill staple with 2 rows of brightly colored houses facing each other. On one side of the street, the houses are a bright and vibrant mixture of purple, blue, green and yellow. The other side has a deeper color palette with bright pops of lime green and ballet pink. If you are in the area during magnolia season you will be spoiled not only for colour but also with the abundance of pink blooms.
