Situated on the borders of Kensington and Notting Hill, this stylish home has a fantastic address. Browse the vintage clothes and antique stalls at the Portobello Road Market, a five-minute stroll away. Or head to the chic boutiques of Westbourne Grove, twenty minutes on foot, while Kensington Palace is a fifteen-minute ride. There are plenty of eateries and bars on your doorstep too. Walk back through leafy streets to this elegant period townhouse and your beautiful apartment. Inside, have a rest on the comfy blue velvet sofa after a busy day in London. We love the views out over the neighbourhood and gardens from the windows and balconies here. Later, prepare some truffle chicken and potato gratin in the sleek kitchen if you don’t feel like eating out. There’s a desk, too, if you need to catch up on some work. This home is perfect for business professionals, two couples or families looking for an exclusive location.

Dine at the Electric Diner
Escape the bustle of Portobello Road, slip into a red leather booth and enjoy lunch or dinner in this French-American brasserie. It's attached to the Electric Cinema so you can catch a film as well.
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.
Enjoy a Delicious Breakfast at Mike's Cafe
This local institution serves up fantastic English breakfasts with fresh ingredients and crispy, thick bacon. The friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere make it the perfect spot for all your morning food cravings.
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.
Explore Kensington Memorial Park
A brilliant, well-kept park with a seasonal water-play facility, playground, and sports amenities. Perfect for kids to enjoy and have a fantastic time. Closed until June 2023.
Dine at La Bodega Portobello Spanish Restaurant

Soak up the sun with a cold beer at Garden Bar
