Kensington Place

Notting Hill stalwarts will tell you that Kensington Place started the renaissance in neighbourhood dining; a smart, buzzing, 'of-the-moment' brasserie that ran like clockwork whilst serving light, simple, seriously good food. 25 years on, and KP, as it's affectionately known, has bedded down to become the quintessential neighbourhood restaurant, buzzing with the happy hum of content diners. Next door, the small but perfectly formed fish shop does a roaring trade with loyal locals.
