Why is it called Notting Hill Gate?

Where the name comes from
Named after the street Notting Hill Gate. The origin of Notting Hill is uncertain: it appears as Knottynghull in 1356, and "Nott" is now thought to come from the Saxon personal name Cnotta, with "ing" meaning a group or settlement of people.
Worth knowing: During refurbishment an abandoned lift passage from 1900 was found, still holding posters from the late 1950s.
