Getting there takes about 45 minutes from Heathrow airport or about an hour from Gatwick. It is located in a quiet street in the pretty pastel-painted Notting Hill and is a very convenient three minute walk from Notting Hill Gate tube station - with its fast links to the many popular Central London visitor attractions via the Central or District and Circle Lines. Portobello Road street market stalls and restaurants are a twenty minute walk, and Queensway is a 10-minute walk for near- or far-Eastern restaurants. There are three supermarkets and plenty of fast food outlets around the tube station, plus plenty of pubs. Getting to the South Kensington museums is easy by bus or tube, as are Covent Garden, Soho and West End theatres for a lively evening. The area is popular with artists as well as bankers - Freddie Mercury lived near the main shopping street - Kensington High St., the painter Lucian Freud worked in his studio in Kensington Church St just a hundred yards away, and a film director with a long string of successful films has recently moved into our street - Notting Hill also being the clue. If you fancy a walk through the Royal Parks - check to see if you need to book first and then head east along Bayswater Road and turn right into Kensington Gardens. Drop into Kensington Palace where Princess Diana lived and where Queen Victoria was born, through Hyde Park to Number One London - the Duke of Wellington’s former London mansion- then down along Green Park to Buckingham Palace then through St James’ Park to Horseguards Parade and into Whitehall. Here you can turn right and pass Downing St - where you may see Prime Ministers changing as often as the Guard - and move on to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. Or you can turn left and head past the Cenotaph war memorial on your way to Trafalgar Square, the National Picture Gallery and St Martins in the Fields Church -dating from the 1690s. This should take you more than one day but you can get back to Notting Hill Gate easily from several tube stations en route.
