Hidden away behind Notting Hill Gate, this charming, split-level apartment is a sophisticated base for those looking to explore all that West London has to offer. Not only are you within easy reach of some of the city’s most popular tourist destinations – think Kensington Palace and Portobello Road Market – but you’re perfectly placed for immersing yourself in local life, situated just a stone’s throw from a whole host of independent restaurants and cafés. So, however you want to spend your time here, this place has got you covered. When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to a converted Victorian townhouse that’ll make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a scene from your favourite British film. Climb the interior staircase and find yourself in your gorgeous apartment, where we’re pleased to say you’ll have everything you need to unwind in style. Kick back and relax in the whitewashed living room, treat yourself to a glass of fizz and a long soak in the tub, or head up to the loft bedroom and gaze out at the tree-lined streets of Notting Hill. Sign us up.

About Notting Hill
Notting Hill is much loved by residents and visitors alike and it's not hard to see why. Home to the famous Portobello Market and beautiful tree-lined streets of pastel coloured houses made famous by the eponymous film, nothing beats a stroll through the area on a crisp day.

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.

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.
Play at the Diana Memorial Playground
What better tribute to the People's Princess than a playground where over a million children a year enjoy playing in this free space. For grown ups, there's a coffee bar just nearby.
Skate, Dine or Bowl at Queens
Take your pick - London’s only permanent ice rink location also boasts state-of-the-art bowling lanes and west London’s only outpost of the cult-status burger joint MEATliquor.
Treat your tastebuds at Gold
A neighbourhood modern European restaurant and late-night bar, the menu exudes colour, taste and modern freshness, with a focus on produce-led, minimal process cooking.
Catch a Film at The Gate Picturehouse
Dating back to 1911, The Gate is a gorgeous single-screen cinema in the heart of Notting Hill.
Experience a night at The Coronet Theatre
This converted warehouse offers a cosy and intimate setting to enjoy contemporary dance, opera, and drama productions. Don't miss the unique candlelit bar here, too – we think it's the star of the show.
