Luxury Apartments and Houses in Notting Hill
Apartments and townhouses on stucco crescents, a short stroll from Portobello Road and Holland Park
As featured in
Stucco crescents, Saturday antiques and a London that feels like a village
Notting Hill was not always smart. In the nineteenth century the Ladbroke estate laid out its curving crescents and private gardens on what had been a racecourse, and fashion came and went more than once. Today the white stucco is freshly painted, the pastel terraces off Portobello Road are photographed daily, and the neighbourhood is one of the most agreeable places in London to live, even if only for a week.
Our Notting Hill collection runs to 100+ properties, mostly well-finished apartments of one to three bedrooms in period buildings, with a handful of townhouses and larger family homes. Some have terraces, patios or private parking, which here is a rare luxury in itself.
Here is a guide to the streets, the market and the best time to come.

The Ladbroke estate and Lansdowne for crescents and garden squares, Pembridge and Notting Hill Gate for easy transport, Colville and Portobello for the market and restaurants, and Holland Park for quiet and green space.
Silver, bric-a-brac and a custard tart
Portobello Road runs north from Notting Hill Gate for well over a mile, and it changes character as it goes. Saturday is the day for antiques, when dealers in silver, prints, clocks and curiosities set out their stalls at the southern end and the crowds arrive early. During the week the fruit and vegetable stalls carry on at a gentler pace.
Further north, the Electric Cinema has been showing films for more than a century, now from leather armchairs. Beyond the Westway, Golborne Road has a Portuguese and Moroccan flavour, with pastry shops and mint tea, and feels like a different London altogether.
Crescents with gardens behind them
The best-kept secret of Notting Hill is what lies behind the houses. On the Ladbroke estate, around Lansdowne Crescent and Ladbroke Square, the terraces back onto large communal gardens, private to the residents and invisible from the street. Pembridge Square and the streets around it are grand, leafy and handy for the Tube at Notting Hill Gate.
Colville, closer to the market, is livelier, with restaurants and bars a few steps from the door. Our concierge can tell you which apartments sit on quiet streets and which put you in the thick of things, a distinction that matters on a Saturday morning.
Peacocks, a Japanese garden and Kensington Gardens
Holland Park lies just to the south-west, with woodland walks, wandering peacocks and the Kyoto Garden, a Japanese garden of ponds, maples and a small waterfall. In summer, Opera Holland Park performs beneath a canopy in the grounds. On the park's southern edge, the Design Museum occupies the former Commonwealth Institute, and Leighton House, the Victorian painter's extraordinary home, is a short walk away.
In the other direction, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park begin just south of Notting Hill Gate, which makes a morning walk to Kensington Palace an easy habit to acquire.
Three stars, good pubs and a carnival
Notting Hill eats well. The Ledbury, on Ledbury Road, holds three Michelin stars, and Westbourne Grove and the streets around it are lined with bakeries, brunch spots and neighbourhood restaurants. The pubs are good too, several with tables outside for a long summer evening.
London is a year-round city, though late spring and early summer show the garden squares at their best. The Notting Hill Carnival takes over the streets on the August bank holiday weekend: joyous, loud and very crowded. Come for it deliberately or plan around it. Our concierge can book tables, arrange transfers and suggest the right apartment either way.

Notting Hill's apartments range from hushed garden crescents to flats above the Saturday market, and we know which streets are calm and which are best on Carnival weekend. With 100+ properties in Notting Hill, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.

You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant reservations, private transfers from Heathrow, theatre and opera tickets, guided walks of Portobello's antiques dealers, babysitters and grocery deliveries before you arrive. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in Notting Hill?
The Ladbroke estate and Lansdowne Crescent are the quietest and grandest, with communal gardens behind many houses. Pembridge and Notting Hill Gate are best for transport, and Colville and Portobello suit those who want the market and restaurants on the doorstep.
When is the Notting Hill Carnival?
The Carnival is held over the August bank holiday weekend, on the Sunday and Monday. It is one of the largest street festivals in Europe, so expect road closures and big crowds, and book early if you want to be there.
When is Portobello Road Market open?
The general market runs from Monday to Saturday, with shorter hours on Thursdays. Saturday is the main day, when the antiques dealers are out in force, so arrive early to beat the crowds.
Can you arrange a private chef at a apartment in Notting Hill?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.

Across our 100+ properties in Notting Hill, weekly rates typically range from £2,500 to £4,500, with the most affordable from around £2,300 a week and the largest estates well above.

These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
