I know that as I type this article I run the risk of being fined. You see, I am sitting in my favourite Notting Hill café and I am not wearing Hunter Wellington boots. When you move to the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea it is made very clear that this is a requirement. As I look around I cannot help but notice that I should also be sporting a diamond so big, it requires a parking permit. I will scavenge in the antiques markets on Portobello Road for something that looks believable and big enough to damage my finger.

Whilst I exaggerate (only slightly), I look around and realise that I can pick the locals from the visitors in the café.

The woman sharing my table is a local. She outshines me in what looks like a Christopher Kane dress, completing her look with patent leather navy blue brogues. The stylist from Mad Men has done her hair. I sit hoping that I can catch cool from her.
