Notting Hills Famous Elephant
Many years ago, a young couple who were on their honeymoon in Sri Lanka fell in love with the elephant when they first saw it in their honeymoon suite.
After much pleading the hotel owner eventually agreed to sell the elephant to the young couple.
After a lot of expense and 11 months of travelling across land and sea, the elephant finally arrived in Notting Hill. To the absolute heartbreak of the young couple the elephant wouldn’t fit through the front door to their building.
It was left in Mario’s showroom and has been there ever since. The elephant is quite famous in the area. People who have met our elephant when they were children now take their own children and even grandchildren to say hello.
