Just a boy, standing in front of a girl... Congratulations to Michal and his lovely fiancée who got engaged at the shop last week! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special moment, and we all wish you the happiest life together! 💍❤️

On this day in 1923, a riot following controversy around a Dadaist play called The Gas Heart became the starting point for the foundation of Surrealism. So in honour of the day, we want to highly recommend our personal favourite Surrealist (which is an important favourite thing to have, definitely).
Leonora Carrington is by a lot of people only known as Max Ernest’s lover, but was an incredible artist and writer in her own right. Her art, as her writing, is whimsical, disturbing, and gorgeously haunting, and we promise it’s unlike anything else you’ve seen. Come on by the shop and we’d be more than happy to share some more fun Carrington facts, and our (many) favourite Carrington books. We promise they’ll weird you out in the very best of ways! 🌀

Be still my lightning bolt-shaped heart! ⚡️The gorgeous 20th anniversary edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is finally with us! Which Hogwarts house are you? (Personally, we’re a whole lotta Hufflepuff) 💛💚❤️💙

Summer is finally truly here, folks! Our assistant manager is currently off in Sweden on holiday and have, obviously, chosen the most approprate read for the occasion. What’s your favourite holiday reads? Be sure to leave your favourites down below in the comments! ☀️

Our collection of Barnes & Nobles leatherbound classics is a constant favourite both with our visitors and our staff. Just look how gorgeous this latest addition to the family is! 💘
What classic would you want to see join our leatherbound beauties next? (Personally I’m dying for a silver edged edition of Frankenstein, but that’s just me)

Fridays for us means it’s time for the weekly supply run, or, as it’s better known in this shop, ”a good excuse to swing by Portobello Market on the way back”. Please grant us the strength we need to not leave here with 45 different pastries and plants (again)! 🍰🌷

The wedding bells are ringing and we’ve prepared with all the literature we need to get ready for the big day. Swing by the shop today for a good book and strong opinions on everyone’s outfits! #royalwedding 💍👑

On this day in 1860, J.M Barrie, better known as the author of Peter Pan, was born. Apart from creating one of our most beloved children’s stories, Barrie was generally quite a strange fellow. He, among other things, started a failing cricket team featuring the authors of Sherlock Holmes and Winnie the Pooh, and allegedly ate brussel sprouts every day simply because he liked saying the word.

It’s new window display day at the shop! Our new window is comprised of some of our personal favourites. Any good reads we’ve missed out on? Tell us below what’s your favourite book (has to be in print) and write a few brief sentences about it. Every couple of weeks we’ll pick a winner who’ll have their book and recommendation featured in our window! 📚✨

London’s drenched in sun, and nothing goes better with good weather than a good book, as we all know.
We’ve now got SIGNED copies of The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock in the shop - an intelligent and exciting historical adventure that would make the perfect companion for a hot summer’s day in the park! The signed copies are incredibly limited, though, so come pick yours up fast before they go! ☀️

Our window display is ready, and the day has arrived! Come on by the shop tonight at 6pm and get your copy of A Table In Venice signed by Skye McAlpine herself! 🥂

Only one single day left until we're visited by the lovely Skye McAlpine and her new book A Table In Venice. Come by the shop tomorrow at 6pm for some treats and a signed book! 🥂

Only a few days left until Skye McAlpine is visiting us to sign her new book A Table In Venice! Come by this Wednesday and get yourself a signed copy and some lovely treats! ✨

cozy books store with a local feel and prime location. <3

We will be back. My family from USA say Thank you for your care. Very caring and lovable staff. GBU all.

We visited the store Jan 20, 2017 with my daughter and bought souvenir items and books, I saw the movie Noting Hill.We just visited London for 2 days, and we have to squeeze our time to see this place.We are from New York.

The best looking staff (no lie) and the best book recommendations. Ultimate heaven , no place I'd rather be, best bookshop in London hands down perfection. Not kidding about the staff, gorgeous.

Quaint, cute and vey charming. Lovely to visit the iconic bookshop from the movie 'Notting Hill'. I hope to make it back there some day!

Nice

Loved it! Looked around close to what I remember from the movie well worth checking out.

It is very touching to see this shop in person. I love the film Notting Hill.

Is a really lovely and friendly place in Portobello!!! I love that!!!

I love Notting Hill. I was excited when i found Notting Hill Bookshop :-)

Happiness! just that! take your time & enjoy!

Good neighbourhood, had fun shop in Portobello Market and a lot of nice cafes around �

Beautiful store with a lot of books�

At first i was not that convince it was really the bookstore but if you will witnes the flock of people trying to visit the bookstore you will surely say it was the book shop in the movie notting hill.... though it was moved from its original location...

Although our visit was looking at Notting Hill film locations, you can see alot of love inside the store. Just like the movie books from gloor to roof. GO VISIT:)

A very inspiring cosy bookshop with the kindest staff. Besides the Notting Hill film related history is charming.

It was nice to recall happy memories... i really love the place...

I wonder if it is really the shop where the Notting Hill movie was shot. Place is nice and not that crowded for tourists.

You cannot just sit down for coffee, you have to order food.
