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 Beach Blanket Babylon and 202 Westbourne Grove - and the Walmer Castle Pub (on Ledbury Road), which is now owned by David Beckham and Guy Ritchie.
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, The Ginstitute.
There is also a 2 Michelin Star restaurant called The Ledbury, which is literally a few doors down from the apartment.
There are many local parks within the area such as St Stephen’s Gardens, Powis Square and Colville Square Gardens. All ideally catered for the children with play areas such as swings, slides, picnic tables and basketball court.
Everything about the neighbourhood will be explained in my personalised Guidebook, which will be provided to you during your stay.

Also, whilst you're visiting London, don't forget to install a very useful app called Citymapper. This is one of the best travelling apps to get you in and around the city and its free to download on your phone (Apple & Android Users). It shows the quickest routes to get to your destination via the best modes of transport whether you want to travel by bus, train or other means.
Inside the apartment you will discover my very own Guidebook. Within the first few pages of this book you will note it contains useful tips and information about the apartment e.g. wifi code, check-out instructions etc.
Nevertheless the Guidebook predominantly provides you with information about the local area such as the nearest Supermarkets/Grocery Stores, ATMs, Banks, Currency Exchange, Pharmacy, local trains stations.
This will also include detailed information about the local area (with supported photos) such as my recommended local restaurants, pubs/bars, coffee shops, parks, leisure & activities etc.
The information inside pretty much provides you with the my knowledge and experiences of my local area, as well as being a born and bred Londoner. I hope you will enjoy the info, as many have already.
