Best advice I can give is to download the Citymapper app! It will give you all the quickest and best routes for you time in London.
The Bakerloo line runs from Queen Park into central London. It’s about a 12 minute walk from the flat. There’s a great train from Kensal Rise that runs east to west, so to Clapham one way and Islington/ hackney the other. Buses run down Chamberlain Road into Notting Hill very regularly.
