Notting Hill retro style

I'm at The Gate early to run errands before meeting my friend Mario. Mario runs a rather cool website called Someone one told me which does what it says on the tin. He is developing an ipod app at the moment and bought be dinner so we could catch up.

Notting Hill artchitecture is bbrutalist to say the least, but bits of it are colourful and instantly identifiable. Market chic seen in high end second hand shops is also unique to here.
