 | | Since the novel in question is called Notting Hell and set, as it is, around the communal garden of her four-storey house in Rosmead Road, Notting Hill, these aren't the kind of neighbours the rest of us have. |
 | | There's the fabulous Notting Hill locations, the idyllic communal garden, the children, dogs, ponies, overpriced organic vegetables, luxury kitchens, celebrity neighbours, Agas, cream teas and a lot of getting into scrapes during weekends away down at the 17th-century Devon farmhouse. |
 | | There's the gate which Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts climbed and the bench on which they kissed in Notting Hill and although the novel presents the rather noxious sight of everyone swanning in and out of each houses 'borrowing cups of pine nuts or Italian 000 flour', it is all rather lovely. |
