15 Oct 2022This is a lovely route. When I walked it, I messed up a little and went along Portobello Road — which was a mistake on a Saturday afternoon. I was pleased to see that it was I that had messed up, and the route was spot-on.

11 Mar 2022A short, wiggly and enjoyable walk through some of London's most expensive streets, juxtaposed with some singularly less costly properties. A nice mix of quirky shops and a good selection of refreshment options. Can be combined with several other neighbouring Slow Ways if you're looking for a longer walk. As has been noted in earlier reviews, the pavements are good, with drop-kerbs at all appropriate locations.
To explain the picture of 'Pottery Lane' - it delighted me as it made a change from streets that are probably named after earls, dukes and the like.

04 Feb 2022Excellent route, direct and easy to follow. Good pavements all the way, no steps.
The route passes through Notting Hill and the Portobello Road area, very attractive residential areas, there are some interesting shops and cafes on the way. Well worth the time, a full 5 stars from me.

04 Jan 2022I walked this route from Shepherds Bush to Westbourne Park. I was extremely pleased with this route, I enjoyed it a lot!
I was worried the navigation around the big roads and junctions at the shopping centre would be complicated to navigate, but it was fairly easy and exactly as mapped.
Almost immediately, the route enters a stretch of quiet residential areas. In Notting Hill, many of the homes are painted! It was so lovely and charming.
The last bit of the walk goes through some low traffic streets and more local commercial districts. I popped in a few charity shops on the way and had an overall extremely lovely time.
The route is all on pavements and is fairly typical in that way of the London Slow Ways routes, but it was one of the more charming I’ve ever walked!.
