The Neighborhood:
Curtains Up is a cracking local boozer located around the corner from the flat. They serve lovely ales and great food all day long. North End Road has a varied selection of small and inexpensive cafes and restaurants. Cafe Continente was voted the best and they serve a full English breakfast here. C'est Ici is another great cafe where you can pick up some coffee before heading out for some sightseeing. Smith's Cocktail Lounge, hidden under Brook Green Hotel is a fun place to go for a late night drink and feels a little like a speakeasy as it's hidden down stone steps. Captain Cook has lots of different ales/drinks with a very British feel. Kanna Thai serves amazing Thai food. The Anchor is a fish and chip shop on Lillie Road. Colton Arms is a really traditional English pub that also does amazing food. Tinto is a traditional cafe piled high with cakes, pastries and chalk board with daily specials and every type of coffee you can imagine. On the corner with outside seating. Parparellu is a lovely cafe serving traditional pastries, food and good coffee with a Maltese twist. Supermarkets: There is a huge Tesco between Baron's Court and Hammersmith with free parking. On North End Road there is a Little Waitrose and Tesco Express just 5 mins walk away. Brook Green is a long shaded green park between the traditional townhouses of West London. Equipped with cycle paths, 4 tennis courts and a big jungle gym for children. Also a great area for pubs: Queen's Head in the middle on west side of park, and Brook Green Hotel Pub.
If shopping is your thing then here is a top tip - you can get some really nice things at High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge and still beat the crowds that throng Oxford Circus and Bond Street. I would high recommend going to High Street Kensington as it is much less stressful. If you are looking for the "big" sights such as the Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey then you are in luck. The flat is a great base to get to these places. Just hop on the underground and you will be there in 15 mins. If you are after more cerebral matters then head to South Kensington for the museums such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A. The world famous Royal Albert Hall is located here and tickets can be bought on the day of a performance early in the morning. Westfield shopping centre is perfect for families as it is chock-full of shops, restaurants and attractions.
Getting Around:
Both Barons Court and West Kensington are just a 7 minute walk away from the property. Each connect you to the District line and Barons Court to the Piccadilly line too! This means you can get directly to iconic London sites, such as Westminster, Sloane Square and Piccadilly Circus in a flash. It's also easy to get to Heathrow Airport!
