The station name Notting Hill Gate had potential for confusion with the MR station to the north in Ladbroke Grove which was known as "Notting Hill" when opened in 1864, and renamed "Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove" in 1880.
Stationsnavnet Notting Hill Gate kunne muligvis forveksles med MR-stationen mod nord i Ladbroke Grove, der hed "Notting Hill", da den åbnede i 1864, og blev omdøbt til "Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove" i 1880.
