Notting Hill, a district famous for its very colorful houses, located in West London, attracts many tourists and influencers for its ideal setting and beautiful photos. So much so that the owner of a house in the neighborhood now estimates the damage to his house at 2,000 pounds sterling or 1,700 euros.
Owner Peter Lee, interviewed by the BBC, 77, and a retired fashion designer has lived in the chic neighborhood for more than 40 years. For years, models and influencers have taken photos outside his bright pink home. Surveillance footage from his property shows people taking pictures of themselves just outside his front door.
According to him, the damage is mainly due to the high heels worn by the models, which cracked part of the sill and the ends of the steps. The ramp was also damaged.
Responsibility of influencers
As shown in the multimedia video in English SWNS, dozens of people are stationed in front of Peter Lee’s house. Models and influencers take turns posing, sometimes in skimpy outfits.
But Peter Lee points to the BBC that they are “generally very polite, they don’t hurt anyone”. He has no intention of putting up a no photography sign in front of his house.
On Instagram, the hashtag #Nottinghill, also reminiscent of the famous movie starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, has been used more than 1.5 million times. More and more influencers make sure not to publish the exact location of the places they are in order to preserve the environment and the environment and not attract mass tourism to places that are sometimes preserved.
