A classic Notting Hill house with a private garden that earns the label – ivy-clad walls, a lawn, a patio for alfresco evenings, and a barbecue for when the weather plays ball. Inside, bookshelves, wooden floors, and a fireplace in the living room give it a lived-in warmth, while a second sitting area looks out over the greenery. Holland Park is a nine-minute walk, Portobello Road Market sixteen minutes on foot, and Shepherd's Bush Overground and Underground stations are both within easy reach – so the rest of London is never far away.

Home truths
In keeping with the listed Victorian building, there's no air conditioning here. Fans are provided, but if you're visiting during a warm spell, it's worth bearing that in mind.
The home sits on a quiet residential garden square with quiet hours after 9pm – ideal if you value a peaceful stay, and something to factor in if your group tends to wind down late.
Parking in London can be tricky at the best of times, so we recommend using the Underground or public transport where possible. Holland Park station is a nine-minute walk away.
