What Kensington is like to stay in

Garden squares, red-brick mansion blocks and white stucco houses fill the streets between Kensington High Street, Gloucester Road and Holland Park. It is calm, well kept and international, with many embassies and families from around the world.

Kensington Palace, once Queen Victoria's childhood home, is open to visitors, and Kensington Gardens surrounds it with the Round Pond, the Albert Memorial and the Serpentine Galleries.

Museums and concerts

Albertopolis, the cultural quarter laid out after the Great Exhibition of 1851, holds the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A, all free to enter. The Royal Albert Hall hosts the BBC Proms each summer, along with concerts and events through the year.

Imperial College and the Royal College of Music are also here.

The area's cultural life extends beyond the famous museums. Leighton House, the lavish home of the Victorian painter Frederic Leighton, has an Arab Hall decorated with tiles from Damascus and elsewhere. The Serpentine Galleries host contemporary art exhibitions and a summer pavilion designed by a different architect each year. Holland Park has an open-air opera season in summer, and the Royal Geographical Society on Kensington Gore holds regular public lectures. Children are well catered for too, with the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens and the museums' hands-on galleries.

Shopping and eating

Kensington High Street has department stores and high-street brands, Kensington Church Street is known for antiques, and Gloucester Road and Old Brompton Road have French cafés and patisseries near the Lycée. The Design Museum sits at the western end of the high street.
