I have visited with friends on several afternoons when it was very quiet. A friend told me it is packed in the evenings. Ladbroke Grove or Notting Hill Gate One of the hippest places in trendy Notting Hill. Popular with the literary and artistic crowd. Free entry before 8pm and 5 after.
DJs are there on many evenings, and there is also live music sometimes.
I have not been here, but people rave about this place. This place is so cool that you might get frostbite just entering the place. A Damien Hirst masterpiece. The trendiest place in London, and as in most places now in Notting Hill, it seems you will find countless celebrities here, although a London newspaper recently mentioned that local people would not be seen dead here. Good, reasonably priced food, served by waiting staff dressed in surgical gowns.
