Kensington

Kensington is a popular area to the west of central London. It is famous for its wide array of museums and cultural attractions, which attract tourists and Londoners alike throughout the year. Kensington High Street is known for its restaurants and upmarket shops, while Harrods, on the other side of Kensington, also welcomes its fair share of visitors. In north-east Kensington, you’ll find Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, home to the Albert Memorial, while South Kensington is famed for its museums. These include the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, all of which are free to enter. The Imperial College London, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Albert Hall also make South Kensington an impressive region. Hotels in Kensington are mainly concentrated around the Earl’s Court area, making travel to other districts quick and simple, but there are hotels further out to suit every requirement and budget.
