Kensington

The chic shopping paradise Kensington is an affluent area home to many celebrities and royals. With a wealth of stores from high street clothes outlets to the fascinating antiques shops of Kensington Church Street. One of the most popular tourist attractions is the historic Kensington Palace and behind it the delightful Kensington Gardens, the perfect setting for a picnic!

South Kensington features some of the world's finest museums including The Natural History Museum in one of the grandest buildings in London, on Cromwell Road and famous for its dinosaur skeletons, The Science Museum, a children's favourite with its levers and buttons, and the Victoria & Albert Museum with its 7 miles of corridors housing a fascinating mix of collections from dresses to church pulpits, you will need more than a day to see them all.

The most famous landmark is the popular Royal Albert Hall - a glorious concert building opened by Queen Victoria in 1871 and dedicated to her husband Prince Albert, many concerts and sporting events are held here. Famous residents of Kensington have included Sir Winston Churchill, T.S. Eliot, Sir W.S. Gilbert and the Earl and Countess of Bradford.
