The house is in a quiet Victorian cul-du-sac, some of whose houses, almost in secret, back onto the Grand Union canal. It is perfectly positioned for explorations all over the capital. A delightful short stroll along the canal takes you to the quaint cafés, antique and junk shops and market of the Golborne Road & Portobello Road that leads you in turn to Notting Hill. A few minutes further in the opposite direction lay Little Venice and Maida Vale with their own array of chic boutiques and restaurants. The nearest Underground Station is just 3 minutes away and a wide range of buses stop literally around the corner. A 5 minute bus trip will get you to Kensington Gardens & Hyde Park, and a 15 minute one to either the theatres of the West End or to Camden Market, arguably the only genuine competitor to Portobello road for multicultural people-watching and wild street fashion. The 15 minute Heathrow Express arrives at Paddington which is just two underground stops away.
