Kensington

Kensington combines cultural grandeur with residential elegance in a way that few London neighbourhoods can match. The Royal Borough's most distinguished address, W8, is home to Kensington Palace, the V&A, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum — all within a short stroll.

The residential streets unfold in quiet grandeur, their wide pavements edged with white stucco terraces and mansion blocks of the Victorian era. Kensington High Street and Church Street provide a varied mix of independent and high-street shopping.

Property in Kensington spans a wide range, from studio flats in elegant period conversions to multi-million-pound stucco-fronted townhouses on garden squares.
