Notting Hill is a district of West London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.1 Its curving streets follow a racecourse, the Hippodrome, which opened in 1837 and closed in 1841; James Weller Ladbroke's estate was built around it from the 1840s.1

Portobello Road runs nearly the whole length of Notting Hill, parallel to Ladbroke Grove, and is named after a farm built in 1740 to mark Admiral Vernon's capture of Porto Bello the year before.12 Its market opened around 1863, and antiques dealers moved in from the late 1940s.2 Portobello Road has the most cafés, with Westbourne Grove and Harrow Road next.

Local tip: Saturday is the one day every section of the Portobello Road market trades; Notting Hill Coffee Project, at 63 Notting Hill Gate, opens at 08:00 that morning.2
