Estate agents in Notting Hill might tell you about the fantastic architecture, cosmopolitan neighbourhood and celebrity population of the area but you’ll have to learn about the underground party and cultural scene yourself. If you’re looking for a different type of venue in London that straddles both the celeb world and the underground arts scene then Notting Hill Arts Club might be exactly for you.
Situated a short walk from the Notting Hill Gate tube station, the unassuming wooden doors belie a contagious party vibe and alternative club and arts scene. The venue is also literally underground, as you follow stairs down to a few cosy rooms with walls covered in graffiti and comfortable couches and a few small tables. Reviews for the Notting Hill Arts Club promise friendly staff and efficient bar service and the bar menu includes exotic beers and organic cocktails.
