Westbourne is an electoral ward in the City of Westminster, in central England, occupying the streets around Westbourne Grove and the neighbourhoods that grew up alongside the buried River Westbourne. Its location sits close to Notting Hill, Little Venice and the transport hubs around Westbourne Park and Royal Oak, giving a handy mix of quiet residential streets and busy shopping terraces.
The area shows the layers of London history: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, pockets of post-war social housing and recent conversions and developments driven by rising demand from professionals. Culturally it's a lively, diverse quarter with independent shops, cafés and a proximity to the Portobello and Notting Hill scenes, while the nearby Paddington Basin regeneration illustrates the economic pull that has reshaped parts of the ward in recent decades.
