Surprise! Surprise! London: Notting Hill Local Tour｜United Kingdom

This is the ultimate like a local tour around Notting Hill. You will literally live like a local for a few hours, enjoying secret places only the locals know about including cafes and bars for breakfast and lunch plus local fashion and gift boutiques hidden away in the backstreets of the area.

Plus, of course, we surprise you on every tour with something that you won't be expecting.

We visit the super-trendy Golborne Road and its cafes and bars and shops which most visitors have no idea about and the cool Ladbroke Grove to view some of the old areas where the first West Indians migrants came and lived back in the 1960's.

Portobello Road is a must.

We take a look at the architecture of Trellick Tower, a 1960's tower of apartments for local people.

Breakfast includes a drink such as coffee or tea or soft drink.

Lunch is at one of the area's great pubs for a local pint or drink of your choice.

Lastly, don't forget Tips 4 Locals where we encourage you to tip locals working to serve you.
