Neighbourhood
Notting Hill
Notting Hill is still the best neighbourhood for a weekend lunch in W11.

An editorial note
Notting Hill has settled into being a weekend neighbourhood. Come for lunch on a Saturday, walk Portobello, have a drink, eat again. Nothing grand. Nothing requiring Mayfair.
What Notting Hill is good for
Brunch. Sunday roast. A walk through a market. A pastel-coloured terrace photograph if you must.
What Notting Hill is not good for
A Tuesday-night late dinner.
Worth a wander
- Westbourne Grove
- Dorian for dinner, Ottolenghi at the east end for breakfast. Walk west to Kensington Gardens.
- Portobello Road
- Saturday is a scrum; Tuesday is empty. The Ginger Pig on a Friday, always.
- Ladbroke Grove
- The pubs, the boutique hotels, the quiet early evenings.
