About Kensington

Kensington is the cultural heart of residential London, where world-famous museums meet elegant garden squares and tree-lined streets of white stucco Victorian terraces. South Kensington's museum quarter draws millions annually, yet just steps away lie peaceful residential streets that feel entirely removed from the bustle. The neighbourhood rewards exploration. Holland Park offers woodland walks and a summer opera season. Kensington Church Street is lined with antique dealers and independent galleries. The High Street provides everyday convenience alongside designer boutiques. For families, the combination of outstanding schools, safe streets, and the endless adventure of the Natural History Museum and Science Museum makes Kensington hard to beat. Residents develop deep loyalty to this neighbourhood — many arrive for a few years and stay for decades.
