Kensington, London

Kensington is an upscale area with stately Victorian buildings and embassies. Tourists come to see dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum, hands-on displays at the Science Museum, and period furnishings at Kensington Palace. The grand Royal Albert Hall hosts concerts from classical to pop. Well-to-do shoppers frequent chic boutiques on Kensington High Street and antiques stores on Kensington Church Street.

 

As Kensington is filled with some of London’s greatest tourist attractions and a residential district for affluent Londoners you’ll find this a busy place to stay, with dense traffic on major through roads like Kensington Road. This is a small price to pay when you consider what’s on your doorstep and you will also find plenty of green open spaces like Kensington Gardens and Holland Park to escape to. Lovelydays have found several wonderful luxury residences for you to stay in and enjoy this up market location in London. 

 

Our Lovelydays apartment guides highlight some of our favourite Kensington amenities and our luxury concierge service will be delighted to make your arrangements before, during, or even for your next trip.
