Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the heart of vibrant Notting Hill, this top-floor apartment exudes charm. There's space to sit out on the private balcony with a cup of tea, while the cosy kitchen, though compact, has everything you need to cook up a storm. A great choice for couples or commuters, we think the location is ideal whether you're travelling for work or leisure. You'll find Notting Hill Gate and Westbourne Park Tube stations are just minutes away on foot, along with plenty of bus stops to keep you connected to the whole city. Plus, Portobello Road is a short stroll away and home to trendy eateries, eclectic shops, and the famous weekly market.

Grab a Coffee from Farm Girl Café
Shiny blue tiles and a sunny courtyard, this is definitely a feel good café. Delicious, nutritious superfoods are on the menu but don’t let the healthiness put you off.

Try Top nosh at Granger & Co.
Aussie chef Bill Granger’s troops serve up superb food, wine, and coffees in this bustling corner location. Get there early to beat the morning queues and relish an epic brunch.
Catch a film at Electric Cinema
Not your average cinema: think large, comfy red velvet armchairs, front row beds for cosy couples, an Edwardian Baroque-style interior & cocktails delivered to your chair. Sound like a plan?
Try the best tacos in town at Taqueria
Celebrate your London trip with a Latino vibe and deliciously confectioned tacos.
Explore The Tabernacle
A stunning red-brick former church offering a community theatre, exhibition space, dance studio, and all-day dining. Enjoy a delicious vegan roti wrap or relax in the outdoor seating area.
Grab a green meal at Farmacy
A leafy café with a retro vibe which attends to the needs of vegetarians, vegans, and other tribes with maximum style.
Go Gin tasting at The Ginstitute
The Ginstitute on Portobello Road serves nothing but gin. Find out how it became a national drink, how it's made, and get to know the elements of a great one before making your own.
Bookshop of the movie
Famous as the inspiration for Hugh Grant’s bookshop in the film Notting Hill, it sells (wait for it) travel books, and also hosts several author events every month.
Learn to Graffiti at Graffik Gallery
Remember when your mother told you not to write on walls? At Graffik Gallery they've taken the opposite approach. Their graffiti stencil workshops give you the chance to create your own works of art.
Grab a bite to eat at Honest Burgers
