Notting Hill is a district in the modern borough of Kensington and Chelsea (London, England). Notting Hill has been associated with artists since the 1870s and is known for being a multicultural neighbourhood. In 1958, it was the site of the Notting Hill race riots, when white working class residents of the area attacked members of the Black community.
