In Notting Hill today I was amused to see a bus shelter with its own toilet cubicle. Although of course some Underground stations (not enough) and most mainline rail stations have them, I've never seen a bus shelter with them before. One wonders if bus times are displayed inside the cubicle as well. It would be a good idea.
Rhys Ifans has been taking things pretty bad at the moment since his break-up with Sienna Miller; he has now blamed the break-up of the relationship over her ex. The couple split due to Ifans being very jealous over Miller spending time with her ex Matthew Rhys, Miller decided to call things a day and [...]
Every man's dream comes true for William Thacker, a successless Notting Hill bookstore owner, when Anna Scott, the world's most beautiful woman and best-liked actress, enters his shop. A little later, he still can't believe it himself, William runs into her again - this time spilling orange juice over her. Anna accepts his offer to change in his nearby apartment, and thanks him with a kiss, which seems to surprise her even more than him. Eventually, Anna and William get to know each other better over the months, but being together with the world's most wanted woman is not easy - neither around your closest friends, nor in front of the all-devouring press.

Nous sommes donc le 2ème jour (pour lire le résumé du premier c’est ici), on a vu sur Internet que la parade commence à 11h… alors on part tôt et on essaie de choisir un bon endroit. On a aussi réussi à trouver un plan, pour savoir où s’asseoir… et comme on est bêtes et disciplinés, on suit le plan.
Les meilleures zones sont surlignées en jaune, on vote pour celle au croisement de Portobello Road et de Westbourne Grove (celle du bas en gros).
Comme on est arrivés un peu beaucoup trop tôt c’est un peu beaucoup mort (la journée commence bien).
Il fait soleil, on a le temps, pas de mioche qui pleure, pas d’exam à réviser ou je ne sais quoi d’autre à faire… alors on se dit qu’on va attendre. Heureusement une bande d’italiens arrive assez vite, ils mettent un peu l’ambiance.

Le dernier week-end d’août, c’est le Summer Bank Holiday, un jour férié pour fêter l’été (la fin ?). A cette occasion, Londres accueille le 2ème carnaval européen : Le Carnaval de Notting Hill. Historiquement quartier jamaïquain (devenu quartier de bourges huppé), ce carnaval est l’occasion de fêter pour nos amis jamaïquains la fin de l’esclavage. Evidemment cet évènement fait parti des trucs à faire à Londres, alors nous y sommes allés.
Autant le dire tout de suite, nous avons été plus que déçu par l’évènement. Soit on a loupé un truc, soit on était pas au bon endroit… en tout cas pour moi, ce carnaval ne vaut pas vraiment le coup de venir à Londres que pour ça.
Pour moi ce carnaval est plus l’occasion pour nos amis jamaïquains mais aussi une majorité de personne noire ainsi que des amateurs de techno et puis des londoniens, amateurs de bières (ou ne sachant pas quoi faire de leur journée - là c’est
It’s that time of the year when Notting Hill comes alive with loud music, dancers, smell of food, colourful streets, tons of trash and over a million people. It’s time for the Notting Hill Carnival.
For those of you that know the UK well or live here, you know exactly what to expect if you’ve been to London during this time of the year. For all others, it’s basically the second biggest carnival in the world after the one in Rio. It’s spread over 2 days with the kid dancers on Saturday and adult dancers on Sunday. This year 1.5 million people visited, so you can imagine how packed it is. As usual, there are incidents but this year, there was shooting. This idiot, took out a gun, shoot at random people, rolled in the floor like James Bond and ran away. Fortunately, there were no deaths and a few injuries.
Luckily for me and my friends, we were there on Saturday, which overall was better in terms of being able to move around, access the stages and dance in the street. The craz
