Tucked down a quiet cobbled street that feels a world away from the city – this West Kensington apartment has a classic London character that's hard to manufacture. The interiors are comfortable and considered, with room enough for six guests to settle in properly. Holland Park is close for a morning walk, and High Street Kensington puts serious shopping within easy reach. Two Tube stations are both within walking distance, making the rest of London straightforward to explore from this quietly well-located corner of W11.

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.
