We love stories from our customers…
Our story began on a memorable Valentine’s Day trip to London, where my loving boyfriend had a surprise in store that would take me on a magical journey beyond my wildest dreams.
As we touched down in London, I was buzzing with anticipation, wondering what romantic surprise awaited me. Would it be a delectable cake, a fragrant bouquet of flowers, or perhaps a candlelit dinner at a chic restaurant? The possibilities filled my heart with excitement and wonder.
After checking into the Portobello Hotel, where we were staying in the very room where young Johnny Depp and Kate Moss once bathed in Champagne, my boyfriend placed an envelope in my hands, adorned with a crimson heart. My heart raced with excitement as I opened it, half-expecting to find a reservation or a clue about our next destination. However, what lay inside was a carefully crafted itinerary that read, “A Notting Hill Valentine’s Surprise.”
My heart skipped a beat as I read those words. “Notting Hill” had always held a special place in my heart as my all-time favorite movie, and the prospect of immersing myself in its world left me in awe. I turned to my boyfriend, my eyes wide with astonishment.
My boyfriend, his eyes sparkling with excitement, explained that our Valentine’s surprise was a special adventure designed to take us on an enchanting journey through the streets of Notting Hill, just like in the beloved film we both cherished. Our tour guide, fittingly named Anna, arrived to lead us on a tour that would bring the movie to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
Anna’s knowledge and enthusiasm took us to locations we didn’t even know existed, and it felt as if we had stepped right into the enchanting world of “Notting Hill.” We posed for pictures at the iconic blue door, strolled through charming bookshops, and even enjoyed a romantic moment at a hidden garden that Anna had uncovered during her years as a tour guide.
Our St. Valentine’s Surprise in Notting Hill had transformed into a love story for the ages, one that I would cherish for the rest of my life. It was a day filled with surprises, romance, and the enchantment of a neighborhood that had brought us closer than ever. As we walked hand in hand along those charming streets, frequently pausing at the iconic blue door where it all began, I couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest person in the world, living out my own fairy tale amidst the streets of Notting Hill.
