Ladbroke Grove

Ladbroke Grove runs from the stucco of Holland Park Avenue up to the Harrow Road, and estate agents call every yard of it Notting Hill until the asking price needs a reason to drop. The Westway crosses it without a junction, a motorway that took one look and kept going. Pastel terraces share a bus route with the estates the listing photos are cropped to avoid, and the buyers who moved here for the edge spend their first year writing to the council about it.
