You are ideally located In the Heart of Notting Hill, where you will find the World-famous Portobello Market on your doorstep just 5 minutes’ walk down the road. Also The Notting Hill Bookshop, made famous by the film Notting Hill, is on the same street as the apartment.

Portobello market stretches for over two miles and is best known for its antique vendors selling anything from furniture, clothing to collectibles.

The apartment itself is located next to the Antiques and Fruit & Veg sections of the Market. Expect to see a variety of antiques and collectibles from all around the world and dating from Roman times to the 1960s. With hundreds of market stalls, shops, arcades, cafés and restaurants.

The market is at its busiest on a Saturday with its Secondhand Flea Market where you’ll find vintage clothing, jewellery, books, and music – and Acklam Village Market with its international food stalls, bar and free live music (also family friendly).

At the northern end of the market is Golborne Road Market, which is a very well-known area to the locals for its thriving Portuguese and North African communities. There are an eclectic mix of international food stalls, restaurants from everyday cafes to upscale cuisine, second-hand and vintage wares, architectural antiques, fashion boutiques.

Other areas within the proximity of the neighbourhood includes Westbourne Grove, best known for its trendy & niche boutique stores as well as popular restaurants such as Wild, Ottolenghi and the Walmer Castle Pub (on Ledbury Road).

The local area includes a variety of trendy bars and gastro pubs to name a few such as The Westbourne, The Cow, The Elgin, UKAI, The Oak.

There is also a 3-Michelin Star restaurant, called The Ledbury, which is literally a stone’s throw from the apartment.
