Entertainment & Activities

The Electric is one of the oldest working cinemas in the country. Be sure to check out what's on in advance and book ahead as this place is popular. One of our favourite cinemas to go to in London and is a unique cinema experience. You can choose to watch your movie in either an armchair with footstool, a comfy sofa or even a double bed. Individual cashmere blankets complete a perfect evening.

For a special evening out, we can highly recommend The Ledbury, a 2 Michelin Star Notting Hill Restaurant. It's a well worth it 17 minute walk from the apartment. The food is amazing and the staff are charming and very friendly. Best to book in advance as it is incredibly popular.

A very nice friendly and cosy gastro pub, owned by a good friend of ours. They serve food all day - breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. If you're going for brunch, I highly recommend the smashed avocado on toast with a Bloody Mary!

Drinks & Nightlife

The Union Tavern has one of the city’s largest ale collections and is just around the corner from our apartment. It's a fun social place to unwind with a pint or two and if you're feeling peckish, then the house-smoked BBQ food is a good choice. The Tavern has a cosy, heated canal-side terrace, and if you're a fan of live music then they host regular live music nights.
