Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In London's sought-after neighbourhood of Notting Hill, this pet-friendly mews home is spread over three levels. The two balconies are highlights – they're overlooked by the buildings across the street so don't feel fully private, but they each have space to sit out with a cup of tea or an alfresco meal. The location of this home means there's the potential for some outside noise and parking will be tricky, but you'll have excellent transport links with bus stops and train stations nearby, so traversing the city will be a breeze.
