Where the name comes from
Named after the street on which its main entrance stands. The street and area are named after James Weller Ladbroke, who developed the Ladbroke Estate in the 1840s. The station opened in 1864 as Notting Hill and took its present name in 1938.
Worth knowing: Portobello Road market traders have campaigned to have the station renamed Portobello Road.
