I don't think that people realise how much goes into these videos. It's not just the filming but also the research and the editing so I am glad that you only do one per week so that you maintain the great quality. I look forward to seeing them every week.
Thank you so much, it's easily 10 hours!
@@HannahRicketts 10 hours really ? oh I never thought it would be so much work to produce a video like this you really put a lot of effort into it for us we really appreciate it Hannah 👍💪🙏
I know! I look forward also! don't tell Hannah ..lol
My favourite area in London. Whenever I am staying in London, I always choose Notting Hill ❤
Hi Hannah great vlog. Notting Hill has a very dark back story. It was originally a black neighbourhood, it was a deprived neighbourhood that the British housed those Afro Caribbeans that arrived during the wind rush years in 1948. They were constantly targeted and lived in fear and as you mentioned it took a turn and the community fought back and the carnival was a testament to the power of unity, heritage and the triumph of resilience. It later became gentrified and the black community were forced.
Also v Irish as well.
Definitely the neighbourhood was still Carribbean in the early nineties but nowadays only a few people remain here only those who can afford the insane rent prices
I flew home yesterday and I watched Notting Hill on the plane and the woman sitting next to me was also watching Notting Hill. It's definitely still a popular movie!
You seriously need to go into tv presenting- you are so easy to listen to and watch. Thanks Hannah x Another great vlog!
Aw I wish!
Hannah, once more you did an excellent job showing this beautiful tour around Notting Hill. And what an wonderful place to visit and live! It seems so peaceful, and those colourful buildings and their architectures are amazing! Your comments about the history of the area followed by those photos were a great idea of yours! This video edition and the image quality are perfect! Thanks again! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend! 😀 🎬🎥 💂🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
I spent three of the best days of my life running around London. Didn’t get to see nearly enough, so I am loving you taking us on tours.
As a runner myself I would say that you are doing very well to do as much as you do. Try a parkrun. Not a race but you will always find somebody else who is your speed and will motivate you to improve. A lot of people are intimidated and think that they are for "proper" runners. They are not.
I used to live very near Notting Hill around 50 years ago and indeed it was mostly a dump. The houses were nice but very dirty and rundown. I'm glad they've retained most of those old properties, and that they have been smartened up out of all recognition. The reason of course is that, along with much of the rest of London, Notting Hill has been gentrified.
Hannah, I have to correct you in case anyone wanders down to Portobello this weekend for the Carnival - it's next weekend! 27th-28th August - always the last weekend in August (Bank Holiday).
I uploaded this a week earlier than planned! Eek
Notting hill is my favorite place in London. I was there before the movie hyoe and this neighborhood is special for me...
Absolutely love Notting Hill. Thanks for the tour. Fabulous as always!!
I'm head over heels for this area , ice-cream houses ! I grew up with Paddington and changed millenium watching One night in Notting Hill !
Actually the movie Notting Hill caused interest in the area. It’s fun to live in an area where a famous movie was filmed.
Nice vlog and excellent narration. I really like how you included the history. Part of my profession is gathering historical uses of properties prior to redevelopment and it's enjoyable to see what these locations were once like. I actually saw the movie a few weeks back and this provided more perspective. Keep up the good work!
kinda tangent, my grandparents were paid by the government to convert their home into boarding. they lived in battersea, right down the road from clapham common. they then converted their home back into being solely theirs, and moved back to jamaica right before the housing prices blew up in the area. that home is worth millions now. they would have been loaded if they stayed a couple years longer 🥲
Brilliant video touring Notting Hill ❤️. Well done Hannah 👏🏻. Thank you so much for taking us along on your weekend travels 😎
LOVE LOVE LOVE the history you shared and where and how things changed. Again, I'm really enjoying your tours!! 😊❤️ My husband popped in, saw that you were doing Portobello Road and starting singing from "Bed knobs and Broomsticks". 😄
Thank you, Hannah, for "throwing up a map". Love a map! For this viewer (I live on the west coast of the United States) I love seeing exactly where the area is that you are posting about. Thanks!
I too love that Hannah shows the maps. I'm in Willamette Valley Oregon. Guess she has several fans over here.
@@melissalambert7615 I am in the Puget Sound area, near Seattle.
My favourite movie of all time
Really good! Yes, a bit dodgy 50years ago. I do remember going to a Greek Restaurant with my mother there. Better Greek food than what I had eaten in Greece.
Thank you, whenever we are in London, on our rare visits to England, we always try to get to Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market. This is an extremely pleasant and lovely reminder of great times we have had. A big thank you and please keep up the great work, the history lesson a nice little touch.
Nottington Hill is so gorgeous! I have German citizenship and I'm looking for some real estate in Europe. This would be beautiful.
Lovely to see all these streets again: I used to live at Notting Hill Gate, and worked in an office under the Westway, near Portobello Green. Shopping and street food every lunchtime - it was the best! Tips from your other videos were very useful when I came back for a visit recently - especially the Crown to Couture exhibition at Kensington Palace 🤩 Thank you! 👏
Hannah, much as we appreciate your ambitious efforts to be an informative London neighborhood guide, we hope won’t forget your longtime fans who just loved to go shopping with you. It’s wonderful to see London through your eyes!
I think the last Mews you showed was where Stephen Ward lived, the Osteopath who was part of the Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice Davies, Profumo Scandal in the early 60s when Notting Hill was a much rougher area before Gentrification. Such beautiful ice cream flavours Architecture to swoon over, love it! Thank you Hannah, have a fab weekend but don't overdo the running. 😊❤
Oh wow, at 20:51 looks like a restaurant…are those real plates covering the front? If so, that’s beautiful. Notting Hill is on my top ten list of fav movies. Thanks again Hannah for sharing London beauty. Hope to visit one day. See you next Friday. ❤️🌼
it's a home store!
My favourite relaxing time in the week is when i get to watch your uploads and learn new things about london, it makes me want to jump on a train to grab breakfast from a market and cycling around in the sun, i loved how relaxing it was when i was working there last.
Fantastic vlog Hannah, such a fantastic area of London!! Plenty of film locations!! and as well the very cool looking Hannah make it a pleasure to watch!! keep up the excellent work Hannah 😊👏
She's got a jacket on... I'm jealous. We're still going thru 30+ temps here
Once again an excellent vlog/casual tourist guide. Your style is really friendly, casual and welcoming and you're really building on the experience of filming them!!
Im on bed rest after falling of a horse and im so glad to be watch your videos Hannah.
I absolutely love your vlogs. Such a great tour of the beautiful places in London. I can wait to visit these places in person one day!
Love the music you pick for these videos. I have dreams of visiting ,and eventually living in England. Gives me all the vibes when your jazzy tunes pop up ❤
I shall now do a few keep fit exercises to make up for sitting down while I watched you move around thanks, you were delightful as always
Love the historical research you've put into this! The pictures from different decades are fantastic. I'm obsessed with the 60's and 70's. Thanks!
Notting Hill Carnival is next weekend. Sunday 27th & Bank Holiday Monday 28th August.
I uploaded this a week early!
Hi Hannah, I thoroughly enjoyed your vlog - This one is incredibly relaxing. Your narrative approach to delivering information is truly captivating. I'm genuinely grateful for the comfort your content provides. By the way, I couldn't help but notice the Maserati at 00:01:25 🚙 - it happens to be my all-time favorite car. And oh, "Notting Hill movie" holds a special place in my heart as one of my cherished movies 🎦 The works of both Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant never cease to amaze me. Wishing you a fabulous Friday and a fantastic weekend ahead!😃💐🇬🇧❤🇺🇸💐
Hi Hannah, another gem of a walking tour ! If anyone’s interested in “free things to do “ in London for the next few weeks , anyone can visit the Sotheby’s Auction house , near Bond Street , to view the Freddie Mercury collection , which is available to see NOW 🎉! * and is very well worth the effort to be there !
I totally agree with you, Hannah! I neither trust anybody who doesn't like "Notting Hill" film 😂
Hannah, you're getting better and better. You're so natural on camera. I've been to that area twice within a year and I prefered my Spring visit with no stalls and much less tourists. I found the things in the shops too pricey for what they are but managed to buy some really nice Arts and Crafts style tea cups at Alice's. The shop looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland and is ran by lovely elderly people. I also bought a box of a very good tea at Bird & Blend Tea Co. On the other hand I couldn't find a place to have a coffee. The only one in sight was Hermanos.
Glad to see you are sporting the women's footballer ponytail in honour of the final on Sunday 😊 🏴
I was in London in February and thank God was a sunny Sunday when I went to Notting Hill with a friend. It is gorgeous indeed ❤
Great video Hannah, thank you 😁 I loved the mix of seeing what it is like now, mixed in with the history of the area, and the old photos too, great idea 👍 I went and had a look at house prices after watching this - yikes 😮 There was a run down building consisting of a garage on the ground floor, with a one bedroom flat above, and it was for sale at £2 million! 😯
Watching from Delaware on the Eastern Shore of USA.
I know you probably won't see this comment as it's an older video... but I LOVE your *waffling* 😊😂🥰 and your energy Hannah.... this was a really fun video! Thank you for posting! It added some sunshine to my morning 😊💛🥰
Thank you so much!!
Love your videos, Hannah! London is my favorite city on earth (I'm fortunate enough to have been able to visit three times so far.) I appreciate your perspective and I'm always adding new places for us to try the next time we're able to venture across the pond!
Another wonderful, informative, well lit, filmed, entertaining and fun vlog!!! Dear Hannah, keep us educated on all things British ⚽ your hard work, and commitment to your viewers truly pays off!
I look forward to watching your video at the end of a working week. I really appreciate your tours of London. I don't get chance to visit London myself but enjoy seeing it through your eyes. I thought this tour of Nottingham Hill was really informative with all the historical facts you shared with us. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making these videos for us viewers. ❤
Wonderful, informative vlog Hannah - shows how much research you put in. Such a mixed history, this area. When I visited quite often in the sixties, it was very hippy orientated, and no go areas abounded. What a difference today though - gorgeous x
I'm from Windsor UK @@ThaomsGabriel
I just want you to know that these videos are basically my life-line. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing. Your hard work is appreciated very very much !
Notting Hill was my first stop upon arrival in London during my recent vacation! Your vlog makes me want to revisit again! Thanks 😊
Watching Hannah's videos is so therapeutic! It's like watching a bestie tour you into their neighborhood 🥰 Love how the video is so informative but not boring! I love how Hannah is just so chill, funny, and relatable! I've always wanted to do something like this, If only I'm that confident and well-spoken when shooting videos! 😅 Wonderful work, Hannah! Thank you for this amazing content!
Thank you, I really enjoy your vlogs. My daughter and I visited last year (from NY) and we did visit Notting Hill, and really loved it. I recognized so many places you highlighted.
I really enjoy your videos, you do a good variety. The Christmas videos are brilliant and I also enjoy the videos you do with your sister
Thx Hannah for taking us around Notting Hill, which is still a fun movie to watch again & again! The area is very nice & looks quite different from the interesting historical view that you shared with us! It is hard to believe that the famous Blue Door is still standing in the same spot, along with so many other "movie spots & locations". I hope your weather has remained nice & mostly rain free this week! Just be glad you are not in the Dallas, TX area right now where yesterday we broke a heat record set in 1951, as it hit 109 degrees!!!
Hannah have a nice weekend, & I look forward to your next week's vlog on Friday!
Yes, a lot of the architecture is similar to Brighton. Even some street names are the same. There are a lot of Regency buildings in Brighton and Hove, which are of the same era you mentioned. Interesting to see where they filmed that movie scene in the nineties.
Ooh Hannah, I have those sunglasses, they are fabulous and you look fabulous wearing them 😊
It’s a peaceful (thankfully) Sunday, raining here in Southern California, so I’m watching and rewatching Hannah’s videos as I prep for the first day of school tomorrow! We dodged the worst of Hurricane Hilary 😊but bracing for a bit of flooding later on. ❤❤
I really appreciate listening to the research you put in about the history of the area and that you got up early on a Sunday morning to get good images
YAY!!! Loved yet another vlog! You somehow make walking around seem so much fun... and incredibly interesting!
How does one make Friday even better? Just add Hannah! 😎😎😎
Its interesting how the neighbourhood progresses from the upscale houses to the brightly coloured ones, all while maintaining the historical character throughout! Also keep at your running schedule with whatever you can manage and you'll make progress
On one video, you asked us to post where we are from on any vlog. I'm in Bryan, Texas USA. I love all your London and British posts. I was actually watching a Whole Foods Vlog from about 10 months ago, when I saw the exact same poppyseed salad dressing that I use, for sale on a shelf. Brianna's. It's made Brenham, Texas, about 40 miles from here. ❤
Great video, Hannah! Love all the background and history, but I always enjoy your reactions and comments on things you see as you go along! Thanks again for the tour, you lucked out on the weather 😉😀😎
Such a beautiful place. It’s so English and pretty 🌼🌸
As you will, no doubt, have now realised, this is the weekend before the Bank Holiday! Probably a good idea as it will have warned those who are unfamiliar that it is not an area to visit over the Bank Holiday weekend! perhaps a holder to attach to the bike handlebar on which to put your phone/camera?
Thank you Hannah, for bringing us to Notting Hill ... This is just one area that I never miss when coming over to London ... It is just so lively and stunning to walk around.
Thanks, Hannah. What a lovely day.
Your hair looks nice ❤
1975 i jus to live in Pembridge VillasLondon,
,was the time of a craesy time than.
Most definitely more please. Would love to see it on a Saturday, even though it would be more challenging to film. Just the architecture of the homes is most enchanting.
Yes to Paddington. Include the Lindo Wing where several tiny royals have made their debuts to the world!
LOVED the colors on the buildings!! 🥰😍🥰😍 Felt like Italy!!
I coincidentally started to walk 5km on my treadmill again, after not using it for years, to lower blood pressure. A like to the pronounce the "k" in Knightly. I discovered on RUclips that an old mechanical calculator, the Friden STW-10 plays The Friden March, which Jack Lemmon used in the 1960 movie The Apartment. In the movie they have great sound effects for when the doctor slaps Shirley Maclaine. Funny.
Thanks Hannah, adding some info about the history of the area was a great idea. Every week I look forward to your tours around different parts of London.
Hannah, I love a rom-com. These days it's my favourite movie genre. I can never resist watching Notting Hill whenever it appears on the telly movie channel. Interesting, the historical note that Notting Hill was a centre for pottery. I'm liking industrial vibe of Clarendon Works. Notting Hill is such a charming part of London. It's really fun to follow along with you as we visit the various movie magic locations! And you are going deeper into the historical aspects! Hannah you've done a splendid job! Take care and I'll look for you again next week. Have a good one! x 👏👍
Доброго вечера... Приятное смотреть ролик-блог, очень содержательно, наполненно , интересно... 🎭🎭🍁🍁👹👹
Your videos have become part of my Saturday morning routine! I love sitting down with my first cup of coffee and dreaming about a future trip to England. Thank you for bringing some local London into my Aussie life.
Last couple of weeks have been soooo stressful 😢 so I saved the 3 last videos to watch them tonight so that I can properly enjoy them! Thanks for making my Saturday much better ❤
We moved to Notting Hill in 1978 and brought our family up there, My three children had to move out as they couldn't afford the property prices,
Notting Hill has the very rich and the very poor, one has to be on one's toes living there if your a newcomer.
I love everything you do Hannah....🌸🌸🦋🦋. Thank you for another stunning video! ✨✨✨✨
Hannah, your “hobby” remark made me giggle 🤭 😂❤
Loving the tours! Thanks for some history as well.
Hi Hannah we hope you are well your vlogs are so full of information as well as entertainment we came out of F&M yesterday and Vonnie was hoping to get some pink earrings as we walked back to the Ritz I informed her no chance as Hannah had informed us ST James was nearly all men’s clothing! Keep safe Andy and Vonnie
Ah yes all men’s!
Thank you Hanna for a lovely tour of another part of London and its history....Notting Hill. I watched the video late Saturday night. I was at a dinner party on Friday and I arrived home too late to see my weekly Friday tour of London😀. It has been a very hectic and busy week. From NYC, I wish you a great new week!🙂
Last time I was in Lomdon (November) I stayed in Notting hill. Air B and B. It was lovely
Wonderful vlog Hannah thank you. Notting hill looks so cool. Must visit soon. Love the film too. So good. Take care 🌞 xx
I can see why you love the architecture beautiful .
one of my favourite youtube channels, I love these videos!
Fantastic welcome back vlog. I also would not have waited an hour for Hello Kitty. Have yourself a great weekend.
I love that the series includes history and architecture too 😍
Notting Hill got rejuvenated! Thanks for the tour Hannah!
I worked off Portobello Road when I was a nanny some years ago now but it’s an amazing place if you have children xxx❤
Love actually is my favourite film. Also I love Christmas so I get all the good things in the film. X
You are so professional!!! I enjoy your videos...they are my therapy. Blessings.🙂
Hey Hannah, thank you tons for these amazing free tours of London, truly appreciated.
You should do Howard's End locations.. if you can travel to several places.. but I think one of the front entrances looks to be here.
Hi Hannah, thanks for sharing. You have me coming g back to London for Christmas. Darn!. I will be vising Nothing Hill. I have a British co-worker who has an apartment in Nothing Hill. I will be staying with my sister in the countryside. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant job once again Hannah loved it didn't know how beautiful Notting Hill is thanks so much ❤
FABCOOL Birthday video for me I enjoyed with my cake/turtle pie! the footage is crisp clear love it gal!!! YA, I do love a HUgh G in Bridget JOnes (first ones best) and Notting Hill romcom but he is a riot in PAddington 2!!! boy you went at the right time to get a nice chill vibe! I miss my Londontown (near Boston atm) this video helps tho, much thanks! Pedlars cafe is cool for a coffee even when it's packed on the streets, it's a bit off the main way and near Rough Trade for a record shop mooch and can get a treat in a cute little shop next-door at Pedlars. THanks CHeers! 😎👋
You look so fall chic in that coat 👌🏼 and I agree Notting hill really is an amazing movie
