Found all across the Kensington area, these apartments combine elegant, classical designs with sleek, modern fittings. Guests will be hidden away down any one of the district’s many quiet, tree-lined avenues and will never find themselves too far away from a leafy square or stately garden.

Staying in Kensington

Kensington has a curious identity, with its stately background and elegant architecture blended with a vibrant, fashionable cultural framework. One of Kensington’s biggest tourist attractions is its array of inner-city parks and green spaces. The north eastern borders of the district are encompassed by Kensington Gardens – 270 acres of regal parkland that is connected to the larger Hyde Park.

Within Kensington Gardens, visitors will find Kensington Palace – a grand royal residence that has housed members of the British Royal Family since the 17th century. The Palace tends to attract throngs of fascinated tourists, who also stop to take in the splendour of the Italian Water Gardens, the Round Pond and The Albert Memorial.

The other large park in the north of the region, Holland Park, is also well worth visiting. For what it lacks in royal palaces, the park makes up for with a diverse set of attractions and a series of quirks that set it apart from other areas.

Confident squirrels entertain visitors in the leafy woodland area, colourful peacocks wander around at their own freewill and large fish occupy the ponds of the park’s Kyoto Garden. Notting Hill is easily reachable from the north and Kensington High Street is easily accessible from the south.

Where is Kensington in London?

Kensington is a sprawling area of West London found within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The district is popular with tourists and locals alike who enjoy both the area’s relaxed, easy going atmosphere and its close proximity to central areas of London.

Kensington is nestled away in West London, standing shoulder to shoulder with affluent and highly sought-after areas of London such as Fulham, Knightsbridge, Notting Hill and Hammersmith.

South Kensington is an ideal spot to grab a coffee and it’s only a short walk from the district’s museum area, while the high-end shopping streets of Chelsea’ Sloane Square are only a step further away.

Things to do in Kensington

Lined with popular retailers and designer clothing stores, Kensington High Street is the perfect place for those keen on shopping. Sandwiched between Oxford Street on one side and Westfield on the other, Kensington High Street has maintained a steady income of shoppers and offers a less manic retail experience too.

Away from shopping, Kensington is also known for housing London’s iconic museum district. The Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum are all fascinating local attractions, while the Royal Albert Hall is certainly worth seeing.

The Victoria and Albert Museum, more locally known as the V&A, is the world’s largest and leading museum of decorative arts and design, and maintains a collection that covers around 5,000 years of art from a range of different cultures. As with many of the institutions in the area, the V&A dates back to the mid-19th century and features a collection of over four and half million items.

Places to eat in Kensington

While our carefully selected Kensington-based serviced apartments provide guests with the convenience of their own kitchen, the district is also awash with quirky eateries and upscale restaurants.

The Bluebird is something of a landmark in West London. The eatery blends an easy-going café vibe where customers are able to sit out in the courtyard in the warmer, summer months, with a refined first floor restaurant and bar.

Those seeking Kensington’s more kooky, quirky and fashionable hangouts should look no further than Maggie Jones’s Restaurant. Found just off Kensington High Street close to Kensington Gardens, the restaurant is decorated in a unique farmhouse-style with hanging wicker baskets, candles and old wooden tables. Tucked away booths and alcoves also offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a romantic evening out.
