About the Surgery

Welcome to Portland Road Practice

The practice has been in the Holland Park area for over 40 years initially established by Dr Martin Johnson(dec). In 1995 it moved form Holland Park Avenue to state of the art premises in Portland Road and became known as the Portland Road Practice under the partnership of Dr Krystyna Soboniewska and Dr Diane Watson. Following Dr Soboniewska's retirement in 2001, Dr Liam Topham joined the practice. The partnership further expanded in 2007 with Mrs Yvonne Fraser joining as the managing partner. Following Dr Watson's retirement in 2021, Dr Laura Ferro De Reynolds and Dr Shirley Mak joined Dr Topham as partners.

We now serve over 9000 patients in the Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherds Bush areas; the practice clientele includes a cross-section of socio-economic and ethnic groups reflecting the vibrant cosmopolitan mix of the area.
