What’s Life Like as a Student in the Portobello Area?

Some may assume that due to the close proximity of Portobello to Notting Hill that the two areas would be extremely similar. You may also think that prices for Portobello student accommodation would be exactly the same, too. However, whilst the thriving area of Notting Hill is only a short walk away, Portobello has its own independent character and charm and on average, lower rent. It has an array of markets, particularly those catered to fashion and vintage items. So, if you are a fashion student, or simply love wandering round market stalls, this could be an ideal place for you to live. It also has some pretty popular bakeries in the area, including the Hummingbird Bakery which is renowned for its red velvet cupcakes.
