Joanna's place is in an excellent location, about a 60 second walk to Portobello Road and the Portobello Road Market. But if that's not what you're after, there are great pubs, restaurants, liquor/wine stores, grocery stores and other shops equally close by. It's close to tube stations and a not-too-far stroll to take the kids to Holland Park's awesome Adventure Playground. Thumbs up!
