A get-together organised by residents and local businesses will be held on the corner of Bleinheim Crescent tomorrow (12 August) in a response to the rioting that hit Notting Hill and other parts of England over the past few days.

Drop by Portobello Market between 10am - 5pm and enjoy some nicely brewed tea and biscuits while chatting with other residents, local businesses and visitors.

Kensington and Chelsea reporter, Emma Heseltine and CEO of Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea, Kirtsty Palmer, are just one of the few people that'll be out brewing a warm cup of tea. And of course, we'll be there too!

If you want to volunteer tweet @notthillgate or @RBKC_Markets.

Operation Cup of Tea K&C Friday 12 August | 10am - 5pm | Corner of Bleinheim Crescent, Notting Hill
