Notting Hill

Few London neighbourhoods have the cultural currency of Notting Hill. Home to Portobello Road market, the annual Carnival and streets of pastel-painted townhouses that have graced a thousand magazine covers, Notting Hill balances its creative heritage with the practicalities of serious family living.

The residential streets — particularly around Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Park and Pembridge Villas — are among London's most beautiful, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues and substantial Victorian family homes.

Notting Hill Gate provides a trio of tube lines and easy access to both the West End and the City, making this an ideal base for London's most discerning commuters.
