There are many Notting Hill business centres offering offices to rent from terms as as brief as one month. Notting Hill serviced offices provide an ideal solution for businesses to rent office space with minimal cash outlay and with immediate occupation.
It's quite hard to believe that what is currently London's most fashionable area was described as "a massive slum, full of multi-occupied houses, crawling with rats and rubbish" only 40 years ago - definitely a no-go area. The area had always been thought of as the bad part of the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, yet in the past 30 or so years it has seen a massive transformation to the status it holds today. It is now a sought after area for trendy residential housing as well as office space for rent.
Two centuries ago, the area was little more than wasteland. It was only in 1840 that the area became more residential with the construction of the Ladbroke and Norland estates. At that time, Notting Hill was either known as the Potteries (because of the nearby pottery works) or the Piggeries (after the three-to-one ratio of pigs to people).
In 1959 Notting Hill Carnival emerged as a unofficial reply to the riots; by 1965 it took to the streets and has grown ever since. Its presence in the last weekend of August sees around one million people joining the party, backing up the claim that it is the world's biggest street festival outside Rio.
Aside from carnival weekend, Notting Hill Portobello Market is jam-packed with visitors hunting through the antiques market each Saturday.
The recent trend that has seen people flocking to buy property in Notting Hill and house prices spiralling started approximately in 1994. The highest amount paid for a house so far is £4.5 million - but this will surely go even higher. For those interested, the trendiest area to go for is that with a W11 postcode, although W10 and W2 are also decent areas to consider.
