The Ladbroke Grove Tube Station was originally known as the Notting Hill Station when it opened on 13 June 1864 for the Metropolitan Railway. Since then, it has also changed its name to the Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove Station in 1880, to Ladbroke Grove (North Kensington) Station in 1919, and to the present name in 1938.
The Ladbroke Grove Tube Station serves the nearby Portobello Road Market. The traders there are campaigning to have the station renamed the Portobello Road Tube Station, for better recognition of their proximity.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
