Bassett Road - Notting Hill

Notting Hill & Bayswater

Notting Hill has a contemporary reputation as an affluent and fashionable area; known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses, and high-end shopping and fantastic restaurants.

One of the most popular attractions to tourists is the Portobello Road Market which takes place very Saturday. The market is packed with amazing stalls selling antiques, fruit and veg and clothing and other great items.

Notting Hill is also famous for its annual carnival. It takes place over two days (Sunday and the following bank holiday), and has continuously taken place since 1965. It is led by members of the Caribbean population, many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival has attracted up to 1.5 million people in the past, putting it among the largest street festivals in Europe.
