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. Not bad, but rather overrated. Close to several antique markets, so if you are a thirsty and hungry whilst hunting for goodies, come here for the drinks but get original German sausages, Thai food or West Indian specialities from the kiosks just a few metres up the road. There is always a good atmosphere in The Prince, whether chilling out during the day or partying in the evening. The music really thumps out on a Friday and Saturday.
