Nestled in the heart of London's lively Notting Hill, Ruby Zoe welcomes guests with a comforting embrace, echoing the spirited charm of the Caribbean. Notting Hill, rich in history and brimming with energy, forms the perfect backdrop for our Ruby Zoe, which draws inspiration from the colorful tapestry of the West Indies and beyond.

From the pastel shades of Portobello Road to the annual carnival parade, Notting Hill is a canvas painted with a kaleidoscope of colors and characters. The neighborhood's history is as rich as its hues, with roots stretching back to the 19th century when it was primarily a rural area. Having morphed into the bustling urban hotspot we know today; this part of town is brimming with diverse communities and cultural influences. 


Notting Hill claims its fame through the legendary annual carnival, deeply ingrained in the neighborhood's DNA. Rooted in the mid-20th century, when Caribbean immigrants organized the first event to promote unity and celebrate their culture, today the Notting Hill Carnival is a mesmerizing spectacle of music, dance, and flamboyant costumes, enchanting locals and visitors alike. 


Step inside Ruby Zoe, and you'll instantly feel the rhythm of island life echoing through its corridors. Zoe is a tribute to the cultural tapestry of Notting Hill, with influences from the Caribbean woven into every detail. Bold shades, warm textures, and nods to the music and costumes of the Caribbean create an atmosphere that is both lively and laid-back.
