Famous for the Portobello Road Market, carnival and a fictional second-hand bookshop.
Notting Hill was once the centre of the Caribbean immigrant community in London but its streets of stuccoed Georgian terraces have returned to being a playground for the extremely wealthy.
It is outside the city centre but well placed for the royal residences of Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace, which can be reached through Hyde Park.
A small but dense museum exhibiting a large range of everyday branded items, showing how they developed between the Victorian era and present day.
Famous antique market linking Notting Hill to Ladbroke Grove.
The Notting Hill end was a bit too kitsch and touristy for me but it becomes more varied and interesting as you get towards Ladbroke Grove.
Right next door to Notting Hill, Holland Park is more wooded and natural feeling than many of the royal parks in the centre of the city, and features a famous Japanese Garden - the Kyoto Garden - to explore.
Coffee shop and roastery located near Portobello Road. It is in an old building so there are steep steps to get into the shop and to most of the seating.
Pleasant third wave shop in Notting Hill.
