Portobello Square is an enticingly named new address. Bordering Notting Hill, it is the creation of up to 1,000 homes and reinstatement of the area's original Victorian street pattern offering a sense of heritage. Lying at the northern end of Portobello Road, the regeneration of a Seventies council estate has provided this opportunity.
Prices lag about 20 per cent behind homes in its neighbour, Notting Hill, says estate agent Hamptons International, which has 16 contemporary-design townhouses available to buy, each with two parking spaces. Prices from £1.85 million. Call 020 7758 8478.
