Anglophile Alert: Notting Hill Movie Flat For Sale

The travel bookstore that inspired the Hollywood hit Notting Hill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Travel Bookshop in Blenheim Crescent, London that inspired the Hit movie “Notting Hill” is in the news again. This time, the flat located above the iconic bookshop is up for sale.

The real Travel Bookshop wasn’t featured in the movie, it was built on a set. But the film’s writer, Richard Curtis, lives down the street and used it as an inspiration for the classic story of bookshop owner-meets celebrity love story. The Travel Bookshop has now become a must see destination for movie fans, anglophiles and people who might actually be interested in travel books.

The flat above the bookshop is modest and has been is owned by lady who opened the bookstore. It’s on the market for £899,950, which is about $2 million.

If you’re ever in London, I highly recommend a visit to the Travel Bookshop!
