The Notting Hill Gate, where I have lived for the past forty years, is a very different place than the one portrayed in newspapers during the Peter Mandelson affair.
There may be a few stars of politics, stage, screen, radio, TV, the modelling and fashion world who have chosen Notting Hill–often in the hope of a quiet time–but there are also a lot of hard-working, ordinary people just getting on with their lives who are none too happy to see their neighbourhood described as “exclusive. . . chic . . . fashionable . . . trendy.”
