Last year, Estelle Manor — the members’ club and hotel in Oxfordshire — announced it would be throwing open the doors to a new hotspot in Notting Hill at the former site of Beach Blanket Babylon (once the weekend hangout).
It’s further proof that Notting Hill is firmly back on the London map with ‘it’ restaurants like Dove, The Barbary, Gold and Dorian launching to complement long-established destinations The Ledbury (refurbished in 2022) and Core by Clare Smyth — where David Beckham hosted his star-studded 50th birthday with guests including Tom Cruise — and brands such as Daylesford, Soho Home, Sandro and Aesop all moving into the area in recent years.
