Welcome to Kensington

Nestled between South Kensington and Notting Hill, Kensington is one of the most sought after parts of central London. Kensington is known for popular attractions like the Royal Kensington Gardens and the multitude of antique shops dotted around the area, but relaxed lunch spots and lively bar scene plays with the expectations in this sparkling but historic West End neighbourhood. Kensington, also part of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, has been a royal residence since William II decided to move to Kensington Palace in 1689. It is a tight-knit community with a feeling of history and royalty reflecting this part of London. Elegantly placed on the west side of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens it is an area still full of life and activities catering to all tastes.
