Notting Hill

I can not tell you how many times that I have watched the movie "Notting Hill"

I can not count the number of times I have stood in front of the shop where Julie Roberts stood inside the book shop and thought about the line where she said to Hugh Grant "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her" (uh, see it even gets me when typing)

Anywho,  I recently learned a few more tidbits about the movie and thought I'd share...

Remember the part where Hugh Grant showed up to the birthday party and surprised everyone with his megastar date Julie Roberts? Well, that home is located at 91 Lansdowne Road.

Remember the private communal garden they climbed the fence to get into?  That is Rosemead Gardens, Rosemead Road and from what I have read it is not as cutesy in real life as it was in the movie (big surprise).  It is still a private garden and apparently there is quite a drop into the garden so I probably wouldn't try to climb into it.

Remember the church tower that can be seen from the roof of Hugh Grants flat in the movie?  That is St. Peter's Church and located just down the street from us (LOVE IT!)  I recently read that the interior of this church was designed by Charles Barry Jr., the son of the architect of the Houses of Parliament.  The church is also featured in Spiceworld the Movie (which cracks me...mostly because I've actually seen that movie, forgot to return it on time and had to pay late fee's for the silly thing.)
