NOTHING’S BETTER THAN THE INSIDE SCOOP. LOCAL AGENTS GIVE THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS...
STREET
Miles Meacock, Strutt & Parker 020 7221 1111 Westbourne Grove is where Notting Hill residents meet, eat and pass the time. The street is bursting with a shopping experience akin to Bond Street and yet, it hasn’t lost any of its community feel. We are very lucky to work here!
TIME OUT
Richard King, Beaney Pearce 020 7221 9044 There’s no better way to spend a crisp winter morning than wondering along Golborne Road, where you will find antique furniture and lighting amongst other treasures. I love the trio of crabs displayed in a glass case, available at Les Couilles du Chien.
INTERIOR INSPIRATION
Keith Rigby, Bective Leslie Marsh 020 7221 4805 Liz Moloney at the Amber Design Group undertake a diverse range of projects from one room refurbishments through to complete renovations, as well as designing bespoke furniture to suit specific needs.
SHOP INSPIRATION
Paul Hyman, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward 020 3280 3504 I love visiting Kelly Hoppen’s shop The Yard which is tucked away on St Stephen’s Mews off Chepstow Road. Her style is quite natural and simple so there is always something that you can see fitting in at home.
FACT
Nigel Hargreaves, Homesite 020 7243 3535 For the perfect pint of Guinness, a relaxed atmosphere & a chat with Notting Hill locals there really is nowhere finer than the Cock & Bottle on the corner of Needham & Artesian Road. A truly traditional London, local pub.
KIDS
Liza-Jane Kelly, Marsh & Parsons 020 8846 3497 My perfect family day in London involves a visit to The Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park. For a treat, lunch at The Belvedere in Holland Park is surprisingly child friendly, and the day is finished perfectly with a play in the adventure playground. 159
