highlights of west london
Notting Hill
Notting Hill, famously portrayed in the 1999 romantic comedy “Notting Hill” featuring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, is a quintessentially diverse neighbourhood. Wander its quaint winding streets and discover charming Victorian townhouses, independent boutiques, and the famous Portobello Road Market, a treasure trove of antiques, design, and all things vintage. It’s a cultural hub that’s as trendy as it is timeless.
Kensington Museum district and more
For the richest cultural experience in London, Kensington is a district of museums, galleries, music venues, historic art schools and auction houses. The renowned V&A, Natural History Museum and Science Museum sit alongside each other, with the Royal Albert Hall just behind, home of “The Proms” and the world’s most impressive music concerts. If you’re interested in the next generation of creatives, keep your eyes out for any Royal College of Art and Royal College of Music events.

Royal Botanic Gardens
Escape the urban buzz and enjoy a tranquil day out in the idyllic Royal Botanic Gardens, known locally as simply “Kew Gardens”. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Kew Gardens’ glasshouses and landscaped gardens are home to plants from around the globe. Within its sprawling 300 acres, there are plenty of events and exhibitions to enjoy, including an immersive insight into the life of bees at the Hive installation, or a meander through the historic Palm House, which houses a rainforest climate and many spectacular tropical species.
Hampton Court Palace
Step into England’s Royal past at Hampton Court Palace, opulent home to one of England’s most famous Tudor Kings, Henry VIII, who brought all his six wives here. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens and famous features such as the Maze, the Great Vine, and an historic art collection, there’s something here for every member of the family. You may even catch a glimpse of one of the resident ghosts as you explore its ancient corridors.
Little Venice
Rumoured to have been named by the enfant terrible of the Romantic era, poet Lord Byron, Little Venice offers a canal stroll along part of the Jubilee Greenway. Time has weathered the route, so for those looking for a grittier edge, you’ll find contrasting views of London along the way, with elegant white Victorian villas and immaculate lawns on the edge of Regents Park opposite graffitied bridges, concrete buildings and Camden townhouses. Narrowboats are moored along the way and boat rides are offered. If you need a break, there are plenty of cafes where you can watch the world go by.
Holland Park
A walk around Holland Park brings greenery, wildlife, and the elegance of Japanese-style Kyoto Garden, but beyond the gardens, this 54 acre oasis is full of surprises. In the remains of Jacobian mansion Holland House, originally known as Cope Castle, you’ll find open-air theatre and opera in the summer. In Leighton House Museum, you’ll be transported back to the home and studio of a Victorian artist, built in the style of an Italian palazzo, with a hidden tiled Arab Hall inside. And in the Design Museum, you’ll find the latest in contemporary design from around the world.
