Building the exhibitions halls, palaces, gardens, lakes and canals took 12,000 people.

Notting Hill & Bayswater ( 2 results )
Notting Hill has a reputation as an affluent and fashionable area; known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses and high-class shopping and restaurants (particularly around Westbourne Grove and Clarendon Cross). Westbourne Grove has been nicknamed 'Rodeo Drive' by local residents who are typified as young and affluent. Many who conform to such stereotypes are referred to as 'the notting hill set'. However, it has an equally thriving 'alternative' culture, exemplified by the numerous second hand record stores around Notting Hill Gate. The area is a cosmopolitan district particularly known for its famous Carnival, which takes place in August. This is a large street festival and celebration of Caribbean culture, centred on parades of elaborately costumed dancers and colourfully decorated floats.
Notting Hill is also home to the Portobello Road antique market, which has become a major London tourist attraction. The market takes place each Saturday and attracts antique buyers and sellers, as well as tourists. The area came to international attention when Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant starred in the movie 'Notting Hill'.
The area is now one of the most desirable and smartest areas of London, characterised by well maintained stucco-fronted, pillar porched houses, private gardens, communal gardens, access to public parks at Holland park and Kensington Gardens and smart shops.
South Kensington & Gloucester Road ( 4 results )

The smaller neighbourhood around Gloucester Road tube station, can also be considered part of South Kensington as well as the institution area around Exhibition Road, which includes famous names such as the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Baden-Powell House, Royal Albert Hall, Imperial College, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Music.
