The Hummingbird Bakery
Best cupcakes on the planet! The famous Red Velvet was born here. Many other cupcake companies have tried to copy them, but they never come close to Hummingbird's.

Fez Mangal
A bustling Turkish restaurant close to Ladbroke Grove Underground Station that cooks amazing Turkish BBQ'd meats. Great takeaway or fun with a few friends to eat in, as it's BYOB. If you're feeling hungry, get the special mix. Also the mezze starters are tasty too...actually everything is!

London's most well known market with a wealth of established stalls, selling everything from food, to clothing, to vintage jewellery.

Cleveland Square Fireworks
Fireworks night at Cleveland Square Gardens is fantastic for W2 residents! A yearly main event and one not to missed. Fireworks mixed in with dance music!
"Now mainly a ruin after bombing in World War II, Holland House was built in the 1600s and was once home to Lord and Lady Holland. They were known to mix in high standing social circles and their guests included Charles Dickens and Lord Byron."
In contrast to the Westfield development, Shepherd's Bush has some lovely period properties.
Mark Nockles
From jewellery to dresses, Portobello Market has it all...
Stuart Bennett
Lively and lined with trendy independent shops, bars and restaurants, it's no wonder that Portobello Road is so popular!
