If there’s one thing Notting Hill does exceptionally well (aside from looking like a postcard on a Sunday morning), it’s baked goods.
Between the scent of buttery croissants drifting down Portobello Road and the windows piled high with glossy tarts and flaky pastries, this corner of West London makes it very easy to justify a second breakfast.
