We might be biased, but we think London is the ultimate city break — and if you’re planning your next little escape, we’ve got everything you need to turn a few days in the capital into something really special.

Whether you're travelling solo, coming for a romantic weekend, or reuniting with friends, Pocket Apartments in Notting Hill and Kensington make the perfect home base for your London getaway.


🏡 A Place to Call Your Own

We believe the best trips start with a space that feels like yours — private, cosy, and beautifully located. At Pocket, you get your own stylish studio apartment, so you can settle in, relax, and explore the city at your own pace.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“So much better than a hotel — peaceful, clean, and felt like my own little retreat after busy days out in the city.”
— Airbnb guest, May 2024

No lobby queues. No awkward small talk. Just keyless entry, Wi-Fi, comfy beds and total independence.


📍Location, Location, Location

All our studios are nestled in two of London’s most iconic neighbourhoods:

  • Notting Hill – Colourful houses, vintage shops, and of course, the world-famous Portobello Market

  • Kensington – Leafy streets, museums, and luxury cafés with that classic London feel

Both are perfectly connected to the Tube, so you can reach Oxford Circus, Soho, Camden, or the South Bank in minutes — but you may find you won’t want to leave the neighbourhood.


☕️ Mornings in London

Start your day with a coffee and croissant at one of Notting Hill’s many independent cafés. We love:

  • Pocket Coffee for the best coffee in town
  • Kuro for minimalist Japanese coffee vibes

  • Farm Girl for something a little more Instagram-worthy

  • Lisboa Patisserie on Golborne Road for legendary pastéis de nata


🎟️ Days Full of Discovery

Your London getaway can be whatever you want it to be. A few ideas:

  • Stroll through Kensington Gardens and visit Kensington Palace

  • Discover hidden gems in Portobello Market (antiques on Saturdays are a must!)

  • Walk down Golborne Road for a more local vibe — street food, vintage, and zero stress

  • Visit the V&A or Natural History Museum, just a few stops away

  • Book afternoon tea or a rooftop bar for a special treat


🌇 Evenings to Remember

As the sun sets, Notting Hill and Kensington stay buzzing. Enjoy a laid-back dinner at The Ledbury (for something special) or Flat Iron (for something simple and brilliant). Or stay in and enjoy a takeaway from your favourite London spot — that’s the beauty of having your own place.

Need recommendations? Just message us — we love helping guests plan their perfect stay.


🧳 Luggage Sorted

Arriving early or leaving late? You can drop your bags at our nearby shop for a small fee, giving you more time to explore without dragging a suitcase around.


💻 Easy to Book, Easy to Love

Booking directly through our website gives you the best rate — no extra fees, no hidden costs, just one simple price and a warm welcome.
