/ About Notting Hill ▾
Notting Hill was laid out on the Ladbroke Estate from the 1820s, when the landowner and his architect Thomas Allason set aside the rigid grid then usual and planned oval crescents, curved streets and generous garden squares. The pattern survives intact: behind the tall stucco terraces of the crescents lie large communal gardens, private to the surrounding houses, still one of the area's quiet distinctions. The district's long arc from bohemian to established has left a mix of grand terrace and painted mews that reads as informal wealth.
Its gathering spaces run from street market to screening room. Portobello Road holds one of London's largest antiques markets, trading in earnest as such since the 1950s, and the surrounding streets carry galleries, showrooms and townhouses. The Electric Cinema on Portobello Road, opened in February 1910, is among Britain's oldest working cinemas and a Grade II* listed building — a reminder that the area was early to the moving image. Converted warehouses, corner pubs and garden-square houses fill out the range of rooms available for private use.
Westbourne Grove anchors the dining and retail, its western end lined with restaurants and independent shops, while Ledbury Road and the streets around it draw a steady creative crowd. The pastel terraces and communal gardens give the residential streets a rare pocket of calm only minutes from the market's Saturday crowds. Since 1966 the area has hosted the Notting Hill Carnival, the Caribbean street celebration held each August across these same streets. Notting Hill Gate station carries the Central, Circle and District lines, with Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines serving the northern end of the market.
