This chic and charming apartment is a great base for a visit to West London. It’s just a short walk from the famous Portobello Road Market, with Ladbroke Grove tube station providing excellent transport links to the rest of London. Despite its central location, this apartment boasts a tranquil setting on the ground floor of a Victorian house on a quiet road. It’s warm and welcoming, with sash windows bringing in lots of light. There’s a well-equipped kitchen, though with so many dining options nearby, you may find that you don’t need to cook at all.

Dine at the Electric Diner
Escape the bustle of Portobello Road, slip into a red leather booth and enjoy lunch or dinner in this French-American brasserie. It's attached to the Electric Cinema so you can catch a film as well.
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?
Visit the Museum of Brands
Remember when Mars Bars used to be 10p? It’s all there, the brands and packs, radios and ads, fads, sweets, toys and games. Evocative and inspiring, it’s a kaleidoscope of images and brands.
Have breakfast at Lisboa Patisserie
This spot is so genuinely Portuguese you might think you are in the wrong country for a few seconds. Try the famous Pastel de Nata and drink the Portuguese Latte.
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
