The Ultimate Live Like a Local Tour. Notting Hill

This is the ultimate like a local tour around Notting Hill. You will literally live like a local for a few hours, enjoying secret places only the locals know about including cafes and bars for breakfast and lunch plus local fashion and gift boutiques hidden away in the backstreets of the area.

We visit the super-trendy Golborne Road and its cafes and bars and shops which most visitors have no idea about and the cool Ladbroke Grove to view some of the old areas where the first West Indians migrants came and lived back in the 1960's.

Portobello Road is a must.

We take a look at the architecture of Trellick Tower, a 1960's  tower of apartments for local people.

Breakfast includes a drink such as coffee or tea or soft drink plus a patisserie or more traditional English item such as a bacon sandwich.

Lunch is at one of the area's great pubs for a light lunch of traditional English pub grub.
