Westbourne Grove

A corner perch above one of Notting Hill's best-loved streets. This two-bedroom duplex apartment for rent is a stepping stone to the area’s best.

Arranged over the top two floors of a picturesque period terrace, this apartment sits high above the shops and boutiques of Westbourne Grove – a coveted setting in the stretch where Notting Hill loosens into Bayswater. Inside, interior architecture by Camu & Morrison brings a playful edge to the design: from the galvanised steel staircase to the pops of colour threaded throughout.

The top floor is the heart of it: an open-plan reception room that capitalises on its position. Sash windows draw in daylight from the front and side, amplifying light across an all-white palette. The kitchen and dining room sits alongside, lit from above via a large central skylight. Green worktops are set against brushed steel; a snug banquette offers easy dining. From here, stairs climb to a roof garden – a private run of decking among potted planting. There’s room to dine, relax and soak up the skyline views.

Two bedrooms take the home’s lower level, both restful and restrained. Three bathrooms serve the apartment – a mid-century inspired family bathroom, a shower room and cloakroom.
