With a funky modern design and light-filled, open-feeling living spaces, this elegant apartment in the heart of London's trendy Notting Hill area is perfect for those looking to get to grips with one of the city's most quirky (and coolest) neighbourhoods, whilst also enjoying all the home comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. The bedrooms, with their simple and calm-inspiring palette of white, feel cosy and chic, providing a restful retreat despite the home's central location. Having awoken on one of the comfortable beds, head to the fashionably decorated living room which boasts its own distinct style to sip a cup of coffee, or take your mug outside and see whether the (unpredictable) London sunshine might make an appearance today. You'll find yourself just a few minutes' walk away from the famous Portobello Market, where you can pick up anything from fresh fruit and veg, to vintage clothing and sparkling, eclectic jewellery from open-air stalls and retro boutiques. Wander through the colourful streets, admiring the pretty pastel-coloured buildings, and shop 'til you drop (into one of the atmospheric pubs or swanky restaurants for sustenance).

Local guide


About Holland Park

Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
