Parking in London can be tricky, so we suggest exploring on foot instead of driving.

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. Good food, antiques shops and bars aplenty, you won't easily get bored in this part of town. Portobello Road itself does get...
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
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
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.
Explore Kensington Memorial Park
A brilliant, well-kept park with a seasonal water-play facility, playground, and sports amenities. Perfect for kids to enjoy and have a fantastic time. Closed until June 2023.
Soak up the sun with a cold beer at Garden Bar
Very few places top a great beer garden on a sunny London day and Garden Bar is one of West London’s finest. Get there early on a summer’s day to get a good spot and enjoy a garden BBQ too.
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.
