Home to trendy eateries, vintage shops, and pretty pastel-coloured houses, there's a reason Notting Hill is one of London's most beloved neighbourhoods.

The interior is all about the sleek finishes, with botanical prints and greenery adding a bohemian touch. It's set on the lower level of a period building, so you'll benefit from a private patio perfect for sundowners.

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
Grab a Coffee from Farm Girl Café
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.
Start your day at Eggbreak
Prepare yourself for a higher level education on egg-based recipes. Try the pork belly brioche bap topped with a poached egg. Come early in your trip as you might want to repeat.
Have a pint at London’s most colourful pub
Literally covered from top to bottom in billowing flowers of every colour, it’s easy to forget that the Churchill Arms is also a great pub. Grab a pint & soak up almost 300 years of drinking history.
Explore Portobello Arts Club
Discover a unique art gallery where the owner's passion shines through in his beautiful prints and canvases. Enjoy a friendly atmosphere and the chance to meet the talented photographer himself.

This greek orthodox church is one of the most stunning structures in the area. Not visited that often but used as a regular shoot space for its lush interiors and beautiful artwork.
Dine at The Mitre
A large red brick pub with a relaxed atmosphere, serving delicious Sunday roasts and a great selection of beers, spirits, and wines. Enjoy generous portions and fantastic service from the friendly staff.
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.
Make the Mall Tavern your local
This great little gastro-pub is just around the corner and has a great atmosphere and a decent craft-beer and whiskey selection - drop in for a drink or two after a long day of exploring the sights.
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.
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.
