Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Moments from Gloucester Road station, this apartment is undoubtedly well-connected. You couldn't ask for a better base, as you'll find a bevvy of shops, restaurants, and world-famous museums within walking distance. Keen to sightsee? Kensington Palace and Hyde Park are also a stone's throw away. Back home, the comfortable living area is just the spot to rest your feet. It's a split-level apartment, so there's plenty of space between the two floors. We think this is a chic, central option for friends and families.

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.

On Gloucester Road, you will find the Stanhope Arms, a traditionally decorated pub with a great range of ales to choose from. The perfect place for a quick drink after a long day of exploring.

Attend a private art exhibition at Gallery 286
This gorgeous gallery is to be found in a Victorian townhouse and can be explored by appointment. Worth getting on the mailing list.
Cosy up at the historic Hereford Arms

Once a favourite church of renowned poet John Betjemen, the church's building is also a stunning display of Victorian architecture, and a thriving house of worship.
Grab a Pint and a Bite the Gloucester Arms
Solid pub grub in a traditionally British pub environment. Worth going just to try the grand tradition of Pints and Pies.
Taste some English Ale at The Blackbird
This Fullers pub right by Earl's Court station ticks all boxes for a good old boozer. Expect pub classics alongside a good selection of ale and continental lager.
Find this tucked-away pub: The King's Head
At the heart of a sleepy, villagey enclave off busy Earl’s Court Road stands this once better avoided pub that following a makeover, now boasts a line-up of well-kept real ales and some decent grub.
Snap a photo at the Earls Court Police Box
A treat for Doctor Who fans, this refurbished police box outside Earls Court Station is a perfect spot for a selfie. Channel your inner Time Lord and capture the moment.
