Portobello Road, Notting Hill

Portobello Road, Notting Hill — The market street, and a genuinely different proposition at each end. The southern stretch near Chepstow Villas is residential and handsome; the middle is the market, loud on Fridays and Saturdays; the north towards Golborne Road is younger and cheaper. Flats above the market trade at a discount to the surrounding streets, and buyers should visit on a Saturday morning before deciding whether that discount is worth taking.

The registered record for Portobello Road runs to 16 sales, and the middle of that range is £1.15m. Prices have ranged from £400,000 to £3.60m, so an asking price only makes sense once you have seen the specific floor, aspect and state of repair. 63% of what sold was flats, and 10 of the last 16 were leasehold — worth checking the term before you offer. The most recent registered sale went through on 8 May 2026.
