Moving to Notting Hill

Colourful terraces and a Saturday market that's still a real neighbourhood, not just a postcard.

West London Central, District & Circle lines

What you'll actually be looking at

Stucco terraces

The famous pastel-fronted houses, mostly split into flats; whole houses are trophy purchases.

Garden flats

Lower-ground conversions with direct garden access, the most requested type here.

Communal-garden mansion blocks

Larger blocks toward Holland Park, facing private garden squares.

Who it suits

Creative professionals Families wanting a private garden square Buyers who want Portobello Road's energy without living inside the market itself

Getting around

  • Central, District, and Circle lines at Notting Hill Gate, plus buses 27, 28, 52, and 94.
  • About 12 minutes direct to Victoria, 18 to Waterloo.

The honest take

Why people move here

Portobello Road and the private garden squares are the real thing — walkable character that looks exactly like it does on screen.

What catches people out

The Saturday market and the August Carnival close roads and change the neighbourhood's rhythm for days at a time — worth living around, not against.

Where it sits on price

One of the most expensive postcodes in West London — close to Kensington and Chelsea territory, well above neighbouring Shepherd's Bush or Queen's Park.
