The area
Neighborhood: Notting Hill
As West London's friskiest corner, Notting Hill more than manages to retain plenty of the same appeal that's brought the affluent area so much worldwide attention. In this attractive cobblestoned neighborhood, a delectable variety of eateries, independent shops, galleries and street vendors offer a delightful window into how to live the good life in London, with each presenting visitors with an experience that's a little more idiosyncratic and endearing than the last. Travelers looking to forage for antiques should be sure to visit the Portobello Road Market on Saturdays, the largest antiques market in the United Kingdom.

We booked an appartment in Nottinghill gate for a week last July. Unfortunately with Covid we could not travel. This was the only accommodation that would not refund us our deposit. If u are going to book there make sure u check the booking policy before you pay the deposit. (Take a screan shot if possible,) we gave them 57 days cancellation notice, and refund was refused.
We couldn't travel, and hope this is helpful, I have to tick that we traveled in July in order to worn others

Notting Hill has undoubtedly gained fame, thanks to a certain movie. However, it seems the charm that captivated audiences has shifted somewhat in reality. The iconic bookshop has morphed into more of a souvenir shop, and the "amazing Portobello Markets" are, well, primarily filled with—you guessed it—more souvenirs.
There are still some lovely little antique shops to be found, but overall, this is very much a tourist destination, with cafes and restaurants that tend to charge a premium.
Should you visit? Absolutely. It’s a place with its own unique history and vibe. But if you’re expecting something truly extraordinary, you might find yourself a bit underwhelmed, as I was. It’s a nice spot, but perhaps not the magical experience some might lead you to believe.

We just decided to explore here. First there were lots of street stalls selling junky items and used clothes. A lot of vintage clothing stores. As you continue there are some cute streets and colorful homes. A few interesting little shops. We had a nice lunch at Ottolenghi’s. However we noticed something odd. It felt like the entire area was under crazy loud construction. It turned out that every nice home and every place of business had hired carpenters to come place gigantic wood panels covering the entrance to their buildings. It was like they were expecting the Apocalypse! What they actually were expecting, according to a local I asked, was a crazy Carnival that was going to attract three million people - some of whom have been known to get drunk, destroy property and cause issues. Avoid this area during Carnival.

We love it here. Get the tube to Nottinghill Gate and you are right there!
We just spend the day walking through this rainbow coloured village with its tiny boutiques, coffee shops and bars. As you walk further through the village you end up on Portobello Road, which is where there are market stalls, antique shops and at the end is a world food market!
The whole atmosphere is electric! Look out for wall art and street performers.

Notting Hill goes beyond the film's locations, on Saturdays there is a wonderful, super traditional market, with old, new and used things and current things, in addition to the shops that are open throughout the week on site. It's an expensive neighborhood, but at Portobello Road Market you'll find cheap things.
This trip is really worth it and there are more tips on my YouTube channel (SW Pelo Mundo), as well as on my blog.

We took a scenic walk around Notting Hill on a Saturday and really loved it. Cute neighborhood with lots of charm. The Portobello Market was bustling, with lots of antique booths and interesting things to browse. We finished with some sausage rolls from Lidgate, which were delicious!

It is a beautiful neighborhood to visit on sunny days to appreciate its colorful houses. It doesn't take much time because it actually involves visiting the movie bookstore, the door of the house and the surrounding area. But there isn't much more.
It's a nice walk.

I spent an afternoon walking around this neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably not great for young adults or kids unless they are very much into antiques and shopping. Probably more souvenir shops than I had imagined. Some very fun, high-end places along with antique stores and pubs.

having lived in London for 2y, I never really thought it looked like in movies. My boyfriend recently moved to notting hill and that idea changed. Notting hill is one of the true londons. Definitely walk around, stop by a bookstore, have a coffee... honestly one of the best bits of london.

Hi, About the Portobello Sat market and Coronation day. Will the outside market run normally that day, extended hours ? Will there be any additional days with outside street vendors, musicians etc? I’ll be at the coronation route and hope to still enjoy the famous market. Thank you !!!

Hi! I'll be in London for the first time in a few days. I'll be there just for a very short time. I would love to go to Notting Hill to see the colourful houses. Could you tell me some streets except of the common Portobello Road. Thank you in advance!
Written September 3, 2018
Hello,
When you will go out of the metro station « Nothing Hill Gate », dont go immediately to the road of Portobello.
You must stay in the avenue of nothing Hill Gate till Hillgate Place (near the corner with the Mcdo).
There, you will find the hillgate street and the Callcott street, with the beautiful house and a lot of différent colors.
After you visit these 2 streets, you can go in the direction of Portobello market.

Hola, estoy por viajar a Londres y voy a ir a Nothing Hill. Mi tema es que llego justo el sábado y me han dicho que es el mejor día para ir. Pero llego a las 11 al aeropuerto por lo que estimo no estaré allí hasta las 14. Siendo así, por dónde me conviene empezar? Se que hay una feria y quizás no llegue a recorrerla.

Hola Marcela!
Vas en subte hasta la estacion Notting Hill. Seran 15 minutos aproximadamente.
Se recorre en una mañana pero si estas con pocos dias, te recomiendo los siguientes lugares (si es que vas por primera vez):
La torre de Londres (anda temprano para que no se llene) te lleva medio dia
Free walking tour (Sandemans) te lleva medio dia
Buckingham Palace y Hyde Park (otro medio dia)
El resto podes caminar por los barrios!!

El domingo a la mañana también es aconsejable ? No está el mercadillo de Portobello el domingo ?
Written March 29, 2018
Que yo sepa el domingo no esta abierto; y el sabado es el "main day"; confirmalo en la web portobelloroad.
