Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.

Start your day at Eggbreak
Prepare yourself for a higher level education on egg-based recipes. Try the pork belly brioche bap topped with a poached egg. Come early in your trip as you might want to repeat.
Have a pint at London’s most colourful pub
Literally covered from top to bottom in billowing flowers of every colour, it’s easy to forget that the Churchill Arms is also a great pub. Grab a pint & soak up almost 300 years of drinking history.
Eat Lunch at Maggie Jones
Step inside this charming, rustic restaurant in Kensington and instantly feel like you’re living it up in a countryside farmhouse as you savour one of the menu's many delicious, hearty dishes.
Get your groceries at Whole Foods Market
This American, eco-minded health foods supermarket is located a short walk away by High Street Kensington station. Perfect for stocking up your kitchen with groceries for your stay.
Visit Sambourne House
Step back in time to 1899 and visit the Sambourne Family Home for the opportunity to see how this family lived. You've got the option of a conventional tour, or if you're looking for a livielier tour, a costumed tour will provide a dramatised account based on Marion Sambourne's diary.

An urbane, neighbourhood-style brasserie offering accessible Modern British eats. Enjoy great vegetarian options, lovely tea, and fabulous service. Avoid the pancakes though!

Inspired by Kyani & Co, an Irani bakery in Bombay, India. Dishoom brings the bustling Bombay café vibe to the UK serving London’s best Indian street food.
Discovery traditional craftsmanship at Japan House
If you fancy a trip to Japan but are not keen on the long haul flight, everything from the tiles to the food (cooked up by renowned chef Shimizu Akira) will have its roots there - and no jet lag.
Catch a Film at The Gate Picturehouse
Dating back to 1911, The Gate is a gorgeous single-screen cinema in the heart of Notting Hill.
Experience a night at The Coronet Theatre
This converted warehouse offers a cosy and intimate setting to enjoy contemporary dance, opera, and drama productions. Don't miss the unique candlelit bar here, too – we think it's the star of the show.
Enjoy the serene gardens of Kensington Palace
Manicured public gardens surrounding the royal 17th-century Jacobean mansion. Feed squirrels, swans, and water birds, jog, ride a bicycle, or simply bask in the beauty of Lady Diana's favourite garden.
