Rococo (Chocolate Shop / Gift Shop)
21 April 2006

So so good. A complete must if you are serious about chocolate.

Luscious Organic (Organic Food Shop)
21 April 2006

Great, but a little expensive. However, much better than Fresh and Wild.

Space.NK (Cosmetics Shop)
16 March 2006

Great products, good service. This is the place to buy a good cream or a little bit of makeup. I have been going here for 5 years and haven't found anywhere that is as good.

Christian Louboutin (Shoe Shop)
29 November 2005

The most exquisite shoes in the world. Tons classier than Jimmy Choo, infinitely more beautiful, and a better variety. I blew a whole month's rent on a pair of red satin courts - far too high but worth every penny!

Bill Amberg (Leather Goods Shop)
29 November 2005

Great quality leather bags with a Finnish touch. Beautiful fine leather goods. He will also make anything you can think of out of leather.

Electric Cinema (Cinema)
29 November 2005

A lovely little cinema if you can get a booking. Great seats, big enough to curl up in. Good snacks too.

Neighbourhood (Club)
29 November 2005

A posers paradise for the trendies of Notting Hill.

Miller Harris (Perfume Shop)
29 November 2005

Beautiful perfumes for anyone who wants to smell different. The scents are fresh, expensive-smelling and unique. I love Miller Harris.

Myla (Adult Shop / Gift Shop / Lingerie Shop)
29 November 2005

Don't like Myla. Far too expensive, exceedingly average lingerie. Everything is peach, demi-cup in lace. Same stuff every season. Boring.

Coco de Mer (Adult Shop / Lingerie Shop / Gift Shop)
29 November 2005

Beautiful, the best sex shop in the world.

Agent Provocateur (Lingerie Shop / Adult Shop)
29 November 2005

The best lingerie in the world. Exceptional quality, fabulous concept. Shop staff vary, but the product is what brings me back. Love lingerie? Love Agent Provocateur.

Elemis Day Spa (Spa)
29 November 2005

Incredible facial and sports massage, definitely the best I've had. The interior is a bit of a let-down unfortunately - didn't like the decor. But the therapies are so relaxing... save up and go!

Bliss (Spa)
24 May 2005

Fantastic manicures. Too expensive for anything else, but if you have lots of cash try the triple oxgen facial, apparently it has fabulous results.

SPA NK (Spa)
24 May 2005

I always go here. Great massages and facials.

I have had a couple of bad experiences, be careful that the receptionist is concentrating when booking an appointment! Other than that, I've tried lots of places and this is the best.

Ottolenghi (Delicatessen / Cafe)
24 May 2005

Amazing food! Takeaway only really, as there is a communal table stuffed at the back that is always full at lunch time. Everything is good!

The Westbourne (Pub)
24 May 2005

I love this place. It's great in the summer, but again get a seat if you can as it gets packed out.

The Cow (Pub / Gastro Pub)
24 May 2005

Great if you can get a seat!

Century (Members' Club)
24 May 2005

I love this place. Leather sofas and a good gin and tonic is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Baker and Spice (Cafe / Baker / Delicatessen)
24 May 2005

Great food. Too expensive!!!

Fresh and Wild (Organic Food Shop)
24 May 2005

The only reason I keep going back is the variety of produce. The hot and cold food is revolting, and takes a long time to come. Also completely un-seasonal. Don't buy the fresh fruit and vegetables as they are kept out for far too long, and freshened up by the glum staff.

The staff are rude and unhelpful. They frequently run out of things and more than once I have brought products that have been mouldy when I have got them home. And finally Fresh and Wild is no longer organic! It's new slogan is 'Real' food, so check the labels before you buy.
