Notting Hill is where the wealthy live side by side with not so wealthy and where the English gentry shake hands with the pride of the Caribbean. Home to Portobello Road Antiques Market and the annual Notting Hill Carnival, this inner city West London postcode is one area which inevitably has the cream of foodie hot spots in London.

Kick things off with a Turkish tea and the freshest, crunchy yet gooey pistachio baklava from the most popular Turkish cafe in town. A short walk away will bring you to a test kitchen hidden at the back of a cookbook shop where you can sample whatever is on test that day. Walk through vintage shops, graffiti galleries and spot original Banksy artwork en route to Jamie Olivers’ preferred London chippie, served in paper with a wooden fork and generous lashings of salt and malt vinegar.

Enjoy ‘little Morocco’ by sampling spicy harissa bean soup and exploring the shops that sell Merguez and preserved lemons by the bucketful. Sit down at the ‘little Lisboa’ patisserie and sample the classic ‘pastel de nada’, a little egg custard tart, made here at this lively bakery that supplies most of London!

Next up, a quick bus ride away will take you to the heart of Kensal Rise where the tour will finish with award winning brownies from this local institution.
