There's no official 'Central London' definition but overall Notting Hill is central to London's transport system. It's certainly within Inner London however this isn't the same as 'Central'.
Notting Hill is a long way west of the historical and financial services centre known as 'The City of London'. Postally and geographically it's also west of the centre. It's also further west than the theatre area known as 'The West End'.
Notting Hill is a little too far to comfortably walk to the most popular tourist attractions and shopping areas in London but it's easily accessible by taxi or tube (London's underground railway or rapid transit system). It's also not far from the main museum area of South Kensington.
London as a city has developed from many villages and towns blending together over the centuries and creating distinct and separate districts focusing on finance, shopping, museums, politics, entertainment, etc. So, how 'central' it is depends on what you're planning to do here.

London is divided into "zones" (mainly for travel purposes). So Notting Hill is in Zone 1, which is the central zone.
It is also on the central tube network, and bus network, so can definitely be considered 'central'.
It is postcode "W" - which means it is on the western side of London - but still quite central.
The CITY OF LONDON (also called the square mile) is in reality the only CENTRAL part of London, but this is a historic division - and consists of the financial heart of London, and post codes EC.

No. it's Notting Hill.
Central London is the City and Westminster
Notting Hill is in Inner London (the boundary's a bit more vague)

Well it's not walkable from the square mile but I would say that London is so big that it has a lot of central. The way I class it is that if it has a London postcode i.e. sw, se, w etc. it's in London, if it has another such as CR then it's not central but I would still say Croydon was in London.

If you have to enter the "congestion charge zone" set up by Mayor Ken Livingston to get to an address then it is part of "central London". Otherwise no.
