There are not many parts of the country - indeed not many parts of the world-which do not have their representatives or their counterparts in Notting Hill.
It is an area of beauty and of ugliness, of affluence and poverty, of established residents and newcomers - these of many nations and races. Its churches reflect the diversity of the neighbourhood, and its preparations for Christmas point forward to the familiar festival from many unfamiliar angles.
