Located between Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove, this minimalist pad’s postcode isn’t the only highlight of this home. Crisp modern designs, leafy-green window views and tall ceilings, to mention a few, though you’ll have to climb three flights of stairs to reach them. And while the second bedroom’s Japanese-style futon might not suit the needs of every traveller, we love the style. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up dinners, though, with Notting Hill’s upscale and trendy eateries on your doorstep, you’ll be spoilt for choice. You're just a ten-minute walk from Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park Tube stations, so you can connect to the rest of the city effortlessly. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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.
Dine at the Electric Diner

Try Top nosh at Granger & Co.
Aussie chef Bill Granger’s troops serve up superb food, wine, and coffees in this bustling corner location. Get there early to beat the morning queues and relish an epic brunch.
Catch a film at Electric Cinema
Not your average cinema: think large, comfy red velvet armchairs, front row beds for cosy couples, an Edwardian Baroque-style interior & cocktails delivered to your chair. Sound like a plan?
Visit the Museum of Brands
Remember when Mars Bars used to be 10p? It’s all there, the brands and packs, radios and ads, fads, sweets, toys and games. Evocative and inspiring, it’s a kaleidoscope of images and brands.
Try the best tacos in town at Taqueria
Celebrate your London trip with a Latino vibe and deliciously confectioned tacos.
Explore The Tabernacle
A stunning red-brick former church offering a community theatre, exhibition space, dance studio, and all-day dining. Enjoy a delicious vegan roti wrap or relax in the outdoor seating area.
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.
Go Gin tasting at The Ginstitute
The Ginstitute on Portobello Road serves nothing but gin. Find out how it became a national drink, how it's made, and get to know the elements of a great one before making your own.
Bookshop of the movie
Famous as the inspiration for Hugh Grant’s bookshop in the film Notting Hill, it sells (wait for it) travel books, and also hosts several author events every month.
Learn to Graffiti at Graffik Gallery
Remember when your mother told you not to write on walls? At Graffik Gallery they've taken the opposite approach. Their graffiti stencil workshops give you the chance to create your own works of art.
Grab a bite to eat at Honest Burgers
A burger restaurant that offers great service and delicious food. Try their juicy burgers, and don't miss the addictive rosemary-salted chips.
