Location Shooting

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2003)

I find it hard to believe that this film was actually shot in Notting Hill. Londoners will know the area as one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse in the city, yet I cannot remember seeing a single non white face in the outdoor scenes. Were they shot in the studio backlot? Shame on the movie makers for giving a false impression to non Brits. Notting Hill is the scene of the annual carnival in August and naturally has a large black population. Shame on Richard Curtis and the rest of the crew!
