You’ll be striding through bustling Notting Hill in no time at this smart apartment set just a three-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate Tube Station. Take your pick from Portobello Market, Kensington Gardens or Notting Hill Farmers Market – it’s all just a short stroll away. With a private entrance and suntrap patio to call your own, it’s easy to see why this Victorian townhouse apartment caught our eye. It’s worth noting that if six of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but if you’re a family looking for a bolthole in the city, this could be it.

Home truths
This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space. If you’d like ample space for socialising, we’d recommend this home for four guests.
A cot is available on request.
As a lower-level apartment, there’s a short flight of steps leading down to the entrance, which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility.
This apartment offers a contact-free check-in, but there’s 24/7 virtual support should you need anything. Early check-in or late checkout may be available but by request only.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The outside patio is a little tired compared to the interiors.

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...

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.

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.

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.
