Designed by UK-based Design studio Design Stories, Notting Hill is a cafe, bakery and deli space located in Notting Hill. Here, inspired by the earth, the smells of fresh baked goods and coffee blend with the city air. Notting Hill is an oasis of calm, a place where guests can hit the pause button and enjoy a moment of peace and connection with food and themselves.

Design Stories designed the space as a timeless presence through carefully selected natural materials, textures and hand-crafted accessories, joinery and furniture, combining modern convenience and engineering with decor from nature.

The foundation of Notting Hill is rooted in a narrow two-storey building, so spatial planning was an important part of the design process. The biggest challenge for design studios is to ensure that the layout and atmosphere are as good for the services they provide during the day as they are for evening and private events. They have placed a lavish private dining space and professional cheeses in the downstairs dining area, while the wine room is a hidden gem.
