Notting Hill Shopping Guide

Notting Hill is the stomping ground of London?s wealthy bohemians ? this is the place that actors, artists, designers and pop stars who have made it to the top choose to live. It is no surprise, then, that Notting Hill is also the place in London to find the best selection of unusual boutiques selling fabulously desirable clothes and homeware. For shopaholics there can be few better ways of spending an afternoon than wandering along the streets of pretty, stucco covered houses in W11.

Try Portland Road for The Cross, packed with an always enviable selection of homeware, clothes and accessories. Head eastwards to Kensington Park Road and you?ll find Paul Smith, and more, then try Westbourne Grove for Scorah Pattullo?s fabulous selection of designer shoes. It is Portobello Road market, though, that gives Notting Hill its edge ? a multicultural melting pot selling food, antiques and clothes. For determined treasure-hunters (and those with more style than cash) this weekly street market is a gold mine of one-off accessories, second hand cashmere, and vintage designer clothes.

This shop combines London cool, French chic and Eastern minimalism, but strangely isn’t as bustling as other apparel/interiors/lifestyle shops in the area.

J & M Davidson
42 Ledbury Road
J & M Davidson is a hard store to categorise and one only stylish Londoners – especially the ones who would never wear t-shirts with three-word philosophies -- seem to know about.
