Kensington and Chelsea

Kensington and Chelsea: Museums, Parks and City Life

Kensington and Chelsea are known for their major museums, green spaces and diverse neighbourhoods. South Kensington is home to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Kensington Gardens is ideal for a stroll; to the west, Notting Hill is a popular destination for its colourful streets and Portobello Road Market. In Chelsea, the King’s Road, galleries and shops shape the neighbourhood.

The area pairs well with a visit to nearby Soho or Covent Garden. For a quieter, greener side of London, consider Wimbledon too.
