Perks for the Parents

A quirky and stylish family home in Notting Hill, with the best cafes and restaurants on your doorstep and a cute bunk room for kids. It sleeps 7-9. If you like to be in the heart of the city, you’ll be happy with this property’s unbeatable location, just off Portobello Road. The street itself is a no-through-road, and a pretty cobbled street, so you’ll still be able to get some peace and quiet at your door. When you’re finished sightseeing in this famous part of the city, you can retreat to the surprising gardens: the patio area is filled with statement planting and a BBQ for relaxed Sunday family cookouts while the larger main garden has a lawn where you can play out with the kids.

Why Kids Love it

The house feels fun and unique so kids will love exploring the unusual spaces here. There’s a dedicated bunk room for kids, but plenty of space for teens too, who will LOVE being so close to the action in this bustling, vibrant area. For nearby green spaces, head to Holland Park, home of the Design Museum (12 minutes’ walk) or spend the day in Hyde Park (15-20 minutes’ walk) where you’ll be entering on the West side for easy access to the Princess Diana Memorial Playground, one of the best play areas in the city.

About the Location

Tucked away on a peaceful cobbled street (with no through-traffic), this location is unbeatable, with the best bits of Notting Hill right on your doorstep. Famous for Portobello Market, its annual street carnival, and for being the backdrop for several famous films, Notting Hill is a vibrant part of the city. You’ll love browsing the street market, and visiting all the cool cafes and instagram-worthy restaurants that are just 1 or 2 blocks away. Head to ‘It’s Bagels’ to keep the kids happy (5 minutes’ walk) and book a table at ‘Farm Girl’ (literally across the street) for brunch. The closest tube station is Notting Hill Gate (7 minutes’ walk).

The remaining bedrooms are located on the upper floor.

Style Notes

Style statement. This home blends a mix of architectural statements with contemporary furnishings to create a striking yet welcoming family home. Each floor is decorated in a modern style with neutral colourways, with the property’s traditional features still incorporated into the décor - check out that statement protruding brick feature wall downstairs adding a touch of Brutalist design. We love the architectural wooden staircase, the clever roof light in the bedroom and the stylish wood-panelled wall details.

Notting Hill, London

Movie stars, museums and the market

This pretty, arty and desirable area of West London has characterful streets of Georgian and Victorian houses, the vibrant Portobello Market on a Saturday and easy access to the rest the city. Close to Kensington Garden and Palace, it has Gloucester Road’s blockbuster museums on the doorstep, including the V&A, Natural History Museum and Science Museum. And - tell the kids - it’s also the area that Paddington Bear calls home.
