Whether you’re new to the area or a seasoned local, leafy west London has lots to offer. Set right on the canal, and just a 10 minute cycle from the markets, cafes and nightlife of Notting Hill, The Collective Old Oak is at the heart of the action. From local cafes and pubs with sprawling beer gardens to Portobello Antiques Market and the Design Museum, there’s something for every taste and budget. Easy transport links make this the perfect base to head off for adventures in and out of the city.
