When it comes to the rapidly changing streets of Notting Hill, Carlos Gomes is an expert. He's watched firsthand as traditional shops faded into small plates restaurants and independent businesses struggled - and ultimately succumbed - to rent hikes, all from the well-worn seats of Lisboa Patisserie.

The secret to this long-running success? Hard work - and the city's best pastel de nata.

"I didn't set out to become a businessman," Carlos told MyLondon, "We were just three friends with an idea - and there was nothing like this around at the time. It's been very, very difficult." Find the full story in the comments.
