| | Ossington Street | view slideshow | view thumbnails [ 25 images ] | |  | Over to North West London this week for a street that I couldn't resist – even if it was only really for the name. The wonderfully named Ossington Street. It's a little cut-through (used by many a taxi driver it's said) from Moscow Road to the Bayswater Road – in effect connecting Westbourne Grove with Notting Hill Gate.
The street itself is such a curious place … probably 20 years ago you couldn't get anyone to live here and now you couldn't even think of affording it. It has some of the most ecclectic – yet I would say stereo-typical London housing you can imagine. On first look you might be unimpressed, but keep at it and you'll be amazed at what you see. And if you're not – have yourself a pint in the Champion and see if that changes things! | | | Directions: | It's kind of in the middle of Queensway and Notting Hill Gate tubes – go to either and walk towards the other and Ossington Street is pretty much half way. | | | Map: | Click here for the map. | |
