Eating London Notting Hill Breakfast Tour
Summary Description
Highlights
- Start your morning with a proper bacon butty at Ye Olde Green Hut, ketchup or brown sauce? You choose.
- Master the great scone debate at Cheeky Scone—is it “scone” like “cone” or “gone”?
- Taste an authentic beef and ale pie at The Notting Hill Bakery on bustling Portobello Road Market, where Sally Clarke made her legendary mark
- Speaking of plot twists, navigate the same streets where Hugh Grant bumped into Julia Roberts, while discovering bakeries that locals actually frequent
- Stand outside the famous blue door (some doors are worth queuing for) while enjoying a freshly baked cardamom bun and spiced chai from Chai Guys
- End at a charming French bakery that transforms into a renowned Indian restaurant by evening (only in London, eh?)
