Portobello Mornings

Steps from Portobello Road Market and the pastel-hued streets of Notting Hill, this North Kensington apartment is a stylish base for exploring one of London's most characterful neighbourhoods. Inside, the living space is compact yet cosy, with a marble-topped table positioned to catch views over a classic London streetscape. Kensington Palace is within a twenty-five-minute walk, Holland Park even closer, and central London is easily within reach by Tube whenever the city calls – though we wouldn’t blame you for spending your days discovering all that Notting Hill has to offer.

Home truths:
* You're right next to a Tube station, and Portobello Road's cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops are all within easy walking distance – so you really don't need a car here. Parking in London can be tricky in any case, and we recommend exploring on foot or by public transport.
* Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
* Cosy seating is limited to three – a two-seater settee and a single armchair – something to bear in mind if you’re a group of four, though it works fine for a short stay.
