☕ Saturday Morning: Wake Up in Notting Hill

Start your weekend in one of London’s most charming areas—Notting Hill. Staying with Pocket Apartments means you’re already in the heart of it all. Wake up slow, grab a coffee and pastry from our very own Pocket Coffee, feel like a bite to eat why not check-out Granger & Co. or Farm Girl Café, and take a stroll through the quiet, pastel-toned streets.

If it’s Saturday, you’re in luck: Portobello Road Market is buzzing. Pick up vintage finds, local art, or just people-watch with a warm croissant in hand.

🖼️ Midday: Culture Fix

Head to South Kensington, just a short hop away, for a dose of culture. Choose from:

  • V&A Museum – for fashion, art, and design lovers.

  • Natural History Museum – a hit for all ages, with its stunning interiors and iconic dinosaur hall.

  • Science Museum – super interactive and full of surprises.

Hungry? Stop by Dishoom Kensington for a Bombay-style brunch or MELT for artisan chocolate to-go.

🌆 Saturday Evening: Dinner & Drinks With a View

Make your way into central London for a show or a skyline dinner.
Here are some great options:

  • Sky Garden – panoramic views, lush plants, and cocktails in the clouds (free entry but book ahead).

  • Barrafina Soho – for Spanish small plates and a lively, no-reservations vibe.

  • West End Theatre – catch a musical like Hamilton, Six, or Mamma Mia!

End the night with a riverside stroll along the South Bank—London looks even dreamier by moonlight.

🥐 Sunday Morning: Slow Start, Good Food

Sleep in (you’re on holiday, after all), then head out for a lazy brunch. Try:

  • Eggbreak Notting Hill – brunch classics in a cozy setting.

  • Ottolenghi in Chelsea – Middle Eastern flavors and dreamy pastries.

  • Sunday in Brooklyn (yes, from NYC!) – new in Notting Hill and already a hit.

Afterward, explore Holland Park—one of London’s prettiest green spaces, complete with Kyoto gardens, peacocks, and Insta-worthy corners.

🛍️ Sunday Afternoon: Last-Minute Wanders & Shopping

Squeeze in some final exploring before heading home. A few options:

  • Liberty London – iconic department store in a Tudor-style building.

  • Covent Garden – street performers, boutiques, and buzzy cafés.

  • Marylebone High Street – refined shopping and a quieter London vibe.

Or simply soak in your final few hours with tea and a good book back at your apartment.

Petite Studio with Private Bathroom in London

Petite Studio with Private Bathroom in London

Finding the right place to stay in London can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot out there - big hotels where you pay for things you don’t need, shared bathroom setups that work fine until they don’t, and Airbnbs that look great in photos but turn out to be someone’s spare room with a curtain for a door.

At Pocket Apartments, we do something a little different. Our studios are small -intentionally so, but every single one has its own private ensuite bathroom, and most come with a kitchenette too. Your own space, entirely to yourself.
