Located mere steps from Portobello Road and its famous market, this apartment puts you right in the centre of Notting Hill. The pastel-coloured streets once provided the movie set for a famous rom-com, making it a highly sought-after spot among movie buffs. Though the kitchen is small, it has everything a couple or solo traveller needs to whip up some home-cooked meals, but with so many world-famous restaurants just outside your front door, you’d be forgiven for taking time off from cooking duties. Notting Hill Gate tube station is within walking distance, which connects you to central London in minutes.
