Notting Hill combines dense converted housing with the largest street market in the area, and Portobello Road's food waste drives much of the rodent work here. The communal garden squares behind the terraces are a second factor — they give rodents and foxes protected ground to move through, and they back directly onto lower-ground kitchens.
