Notting Hill Lettings Agents: Lettings in London W11

Many of the grand refinements of Holland Park are also apparent in Notting Hill, but the neighbourhood has a younger, more bohemian feel to it. There is a variety of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets, lively pubs, trendy bars and two local cinemas. The area is perhaps most famous for the Portobello Road with its busting markets and the annual Notting Hill Carnival. The vast majority of the large terraced houses have been converted into one, two and three bedroom apartments. There are also smaller houses and mews cottages. Hyde Park is a short walk away.

Lettings in Notting Hill W11

Similarly to Islington, Notting Hill is a place of great contrast. Much of it is taken up by expensive residential housing – one-bed flats in Elgin Crescent and the like regularly go for upwards of £400,000. Not far away are estates where money and security are in short supply. In between are the homes of trustafarians, Notting Hillbillies, or whatever new term has been coined to describe the boho yet moneyed population that the area is most often associated with.

The place is certainly a big draw, with enough shops, bars and restaurants to please the most jaded Londoner. There’s always something new, so if you haven’t been down that way for a while then it’s worth having a look.

History Of Notting Hill

Many years ago, Notting Hill was nothing more than rolling green farmland. Pigs were a prominent feature, and there were a few scattered settlements around what is now Portobello Road. The area that makes up Holland Park today was once one of the manors, which made up the Kensington Estate. The village of Kensington was further south.

Notting Hill began to develop properly in the 19th century, as a few large houses here and there gave way to wholesale street development. The majority of the houses were very grand, but there were housing estates going up at the same time, mostly in the north part of the district, around where Ladbroke Grove tube station is today.

A huge number of West Indian immigrants moved to the area in the 1950s, and racial tension led to riots in 1958. Since then this has mostly calmed down, although the annual Notting Hill Carnival sometimes gets a bit highly charged. Notting Hill is without doubt still an area with a lot of sides to its character – very wealthy in places, very impoverished in others.

Bayswater

Bayswater is named after Bayard’s spring, and a waterway built in the area supplied the city with water from the 15th century. It didn’t develop that quickly, because the presence of the gallows at what is today Marble Arch gave the area something of a formidable reputation! Although Bayswater expanded somewhat in the early 18th century, it wasn’t until the gallows were removed in 1783 that the area really took off.

In the 19th century, Bayswater became quite a hip destination. Westbourne Terrace was known as “the finest street in London”, and Westbourne Grove earned its reputation as a great shopping location (which it still has today). These days the area is home to so many hotels that in the summertime it can suffer from tourist overload, but if you escape from Queensway (either into a restaurant or along a side street) you’ll probably get away unscathed!

In recent years Bayswater has attracted some of the overspill from Notting Hill and has a new injection of vitality. The whole area is opposite Kensington Gardens with Mayfair to the east and Notting Hill to the west. Bayswater in a stone’s throw from Paddington and, hence, ideal for international commuting.

The area also offers an eclectic mix of restaurants offering foods from all over the World, situated mostly on Westbourne Grove, where the most reputable organic supermarket in Britain is also located there. The Porchester Baths are renowned for their steam rooms and Whiteleys houses high street shops, cafes as well as a multi-screen cinema.
