Notting Hill is one of London’s most exciting and vibrant areas. Packed full of restaurants and fashionable shops and home to the famous Portobello Market, you’re unlikely to get bored in this neighbourhood. Quirky backstreets and pretty gardens attract many to wander the streets of this beautiful part of London. Feel like you’ve gone back in time by seeing a film at the iconic Electric Cinema, one of Britain’s oldest working movie theatres. Alternatively, have a look around intriguing building of the famously open and welcoming Kensington Temple Church. If you visit towards the end of August, you cannot miss Notting Hill Carnival, a vibrant and colourful celebration of black culture dating back more than 50 years. For brilliant brunch, you can’t go wrong with Egg Break who specialise, unsurprisingly, in eggs! The Shed is a modern British restaurant where the plates are small but delicious, all the food is seasonal and the dishes creative; it has become a local favourite. Notting Hill has no shortage of pubs. The Churchill Arms is probably the prettiest of them all, with it’s beautiful floral façade! For a pub with a good garden, The Windsor Castle is the place to go. Other than the hundreds of stalls at the Portobello Road Market, be sure to pop into The Notting Hill Bookshop, the inspiration for Hugh Grant’s character’s shop in the famous film, Notting Hill. Westbourne Park tube station on the Circle and Hammersmith and City Line is a 3-minute walk from our garden flat. On Westbourne park road there is also a bus stop. Bus numbers 28, 328 and 31 will take you to Notting Hill Gate Station in 10 minutes. City mapper is highly recommended for getting around!
