Arty, chic and endlessly charming, this apartment in Notting Hill is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in the city. Brimming with books, art prints, decorative curios and stylish furnishings, this space has been curated with design and singularity in mind. Open up the living room’s glass doors to step out onto a plant-famed balcony, where a cosy bench seat invites morning coffees as the sun rises and evening drinks before a night out in one of the countless local restaurants. Alternatively, fire up the barbecue here for an alfresco feast, before curling up on the sofa with one of the many books from the shelves and a glass of wine. Upstairs, a well-equipped office is ready to make working from home a treat, while the bedroom and its boudoir-style lounge (also with access to balcony) are dreamily elegant. When you’re not sitting pretty in your plush pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Portobello Road is just a five-minute walk away, leafy Holland Park is a twenty-five-minute stroll and Kensington palace is thirty minutes on foot from your door.

Indulge in a Michelin Star Dinner at The Ledbury
This double michelin-starred restaurant is not in the least bit snooty. Try all their unforgettable dishes and get the sommelier to work their magic.
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.
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.
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
A burger restaurant that offers great service and delicious food. Try their juicy burgers, and don't miss the addictive rosemary-salted chips.
Stroll along Meanwhile Gardens
Discover this imaginative and well-maintained park alongside the Grand Union Canal. Built by the local community, it's a beautiful little Venice with a pond, places to sit, and canal views.
