The Underground roundel at Notting Hill Gate

Close-up of the iconic London Underground roundel at Notting Hill Gate station. The characteristic red circle with the central blue bar bearing the station name has become one of the most recognizable graphic symbols in the world, designed by Edward Johnston in 1919. Notting Hill, a neighborhood made famous by the film of the same name with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, is known for Portobello Road market, pastel-colored houses and the Caribbean carnival in August. The station serves the Central, Circle and District lines, connecting this vibrant neighborhood to the rest of the capital.
