Ledbury Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ledbury Road is situated near Notting Hill Gate and within the area known as Portobello (famous for its market on the Portobello Road). The road is intersected by Westbourne Grove.

It has a collection of fashionable shops and bars running down its length. Examples of these are "The Ledbury" (a restaurant patronised by, among others, Alan Rickman, Michael Winner, Lily Allen, Mike Skinner, Kate Moss, Ian McDiarmid and many other celebrities), and the world famous Bleach Blank Babylon bar.

The road has appeared in many films, most notably Match Point and Notting Hill, and is often used for the purpose of filming TV street interviews owing to its glamourous reputation.

Famous inhabitants include Mike Atherton (former England Cricket captain) and Carol Wyatt (Artist).
