It’s as close as you’ll get to sleeping in the same bed as Johnny Depp and Kate Moss. Like other A-listers, including members of The Rolling Stones, they are former habitues of the Portobello Hotel.
Not that you’d ever guess, from the looks of this utterly genteel hostelry a stone’s throw from Portobello market. It’s every bit the gracious Victorian house, the very antithesis of a rock’n’roll hangout. Only a small brass plaque distinguishes it from its white stucco neighbours in this quiet enclave off Ladbroke Grove an eight-minute stroll from Notting Hill Gate.
