Frestonia
Frestonia was the name adopted by the residents of Freston Road when they attempted to secede from the United Kingdom in 1977.〔(The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Library, "Frestonia the past is another country". Dave Walker. 23 04 2015 )〕 The residents were squatters (many of whom later set up a housing co-op in negotiation with Notting Hill Housing Trust) and included artists, musicians, writers, actors and activists.〔("The Notting Hill Squatters Who Declared Independence from the UK". 28 October 2014. Harry Sword. VICE )〕 Actor David Rappaport was the Foreign Minister, while playwright Heathcote Williams served as Ambassador to Great Britain. Another minister was Nicholas Albery of BIT.〔(The Guardian, Friday, June 8, 2001 - Obituary: Nicholas Albery. Irreverent free spirit who put his socially innovative ideas into action )〕
