Newly fitted Notting Hill Gate vacation home sleeps 2-4 only 3-min walk to tube.

This small family home has been recently fitted out with all the necessities and is ideal as a holiday home for two adults - either using the bedroom only - or an additional two adults or children when making use of the living room double sofa bed. The bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and the kitchen/living-room sofa bed user has the use of the second shower room. The flat is in the only single storey building in the street and has its own front door which gets you into the flat immediately. There is parking for a car outside the front door, it’s a tight fit but doable, the trick is to pass the flat in the westerly direction and then back in. It’s free and legal provided the car wheels are on the house side of the yellow lines. Getting there takes about 45 minutes from Heathrow airport or about an hour from Gatwick. It is located in a quiet street in the pretty pastel-painted Notting Hill and is a very convenient three minute walk from Notting Hill Gate tube station - with its fast links to the many popular Central London visitor attractions via the Central or District and Circle Lines. Portobello Road street market stalls (only active on Friday and Saturdays) and restaurants are a twenty minute walk, and Queensway is a 10-minute walk for near- or far-Eastern restaurants. There are four supermarkets and plenty of fast food outlets around the tube station, plus plenty of gastro pubs. Getting to the South Kensington museums is easy by bus or tube, as are Covent Garden, Soho and West End theatres for a lively evening. The area is popular with artists as well as bankers - Freddie Mercury lived near the main shopping street - Kensington High St., the painter Lucian Freud worked in his studio in Kensington Church St just a hundred yards away, and a film director with a long string of succesful films has recently moved into our street - Notting Hill also being the clue. If you fancy a walk through the Royal Parks then head east along Bayswater Road and turn right into Kensington Gardens. Drop into Kensington Palace where Princess Diana lived and where Queen Victoria was born, then cross into and walk through Hyde Park to Hyde Park Corner, take a look at Number One London - the Duke of Wellington’s former London mansion- then head down Green Park to Buckingham Palace (collecting your Knighthood or Damehood) then through St James’ Park -the loveliest of the parks -to Horseguards Parade and head for the small opening in the middle of the main building looking over the parade ground, and then pass into Whitehall. But do check to see if any of these visits need to be booked first. Then you can turn right and pass Downing St - where you may see Prime Ministers changing as often as the Guard - and move on to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. Or you can turn left and head past the Cenotaph war memorial on your way to Trafalgar Square, the National Picture Gallery and St Martins in the Fields Church -dating from the 1690s. This should take you more than one day but you can return to Notting Hill Gate easily from several tube stations en route.

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
