Lovely turkish food at good prices. I love the mixed shish, humous and falafel. Bring your own booze (which you can buy from Borough Wines which stocks excellent choices of craft beer and wine or you can get booze in the Tesco; both are opposite). Eat in or take away.

This is the best gelato in London. Amazing flavours, central but very small if you want to eat in. Definitely worth a visit if you're keen on ice cream.

This is a great butchers and fishmonger for those of you who want to buy amazing produce and cook at home. It's pricey but cheaper than eating similar produce in a restaurant so worth the investment in my opinion.

Great to walk about, see the Princess Diana memorial fountain (super for toddlers to splash about in when supervised), handsome avenues and the Serpentine gallery. You can also swim in the Serpentine pond, take a pedalo and hire bicycles to ride around.
From our flat you can take buses 452 or 52 south towards Notting Hill/Victoria, and get off at Palace Gardens Terrace / Notting Hill Gate (Stop K).
