Now these films and others shot in the area are being immortalised on a huge wall under the elevated dual carriageway the Westway.

Graffiti artists were today putting the finishing touches to the work on the side of video shop.

The artists spent the weekend painting the 30ft x 20ft high wall using 30 litres of black paint and more than 100 spray cans.

The painting also includes the blue front door - complete with a real brass letterbox - from Grant's Notting Hill and a 10ft likenesses of Jaime Winstone in Kidulthood.

The idea to celebrate films made in the area came from councillor Emma Dent Coad.

She said: "The creative arts are very much part of our history and current activity, so it seemed right to celebrate this. The idea is to emphasise our history and what the area has to offer, particularly to boost local business in the face of recession." The £2,000 cost was raised from a fund Kensington and Chelsea council allocates for community projects.

Tommy Blaquiere, curator of the work, said: "The old graffiti was up there for years but was stagnating. There have been so many films shot in the area that we thought it would be a good way of representing all local life."
