Thanks to its lively markets, vibrant carnival and rich film history, Notting Hill's reputation precedes itself. But we're about to confess our love for it nonetheless. At this stylish apartment along St Luke's Rd, you're no more than ten minutes' walk away from the delights of colourful Portobello Road – where designer boutiques, traditional pubs and vintage clothes stalls all vie for your attention. If you fancy a walk, Holland Park is a twenty-minute stroll from your front door, while Central London is easily reachable on public transport. Fittingly, this apartment is full of style to match its local surroundings, with trendy art prints and a bright yellow pouffe at the centre of the living space. Thanks to the skylights there's an abundance of natural light throughout the day, creating a lovely spot to relax with a book and a glass of bubbly. Speaking of, the modern kitchen comes complete with a wine fridge, two stylish stools and a sociable breakfast bar for convivial meals and mapping out the day's adventures. Later, get ready in the sleek bathroom before checking back at the island kitchen for pre-dinner drinks and heading out to one of the local restaurants for the evening.
