Kensington

Kensington has a village-like community, impressive architecture, lush green spaces, fine dining, and cultural landmarks.

Kensington blends relaxation with cosmopolitan living, making it one of the most expensive areas in London per square foot. Residents enjoy a peaceful, village-like atmosphere with direct access to the countryside, the city, and the West End. Three of London’s largest parks are nearby, and the area’s grand Victorian and Georgian townhouses boast spacious interiors and period features, with Kensington Palace Gardens being one of the UK’s most prestigious addresses.

Kensington is rich in cultural amenities, from the world-renowned Victoria & Albert and Natural History Museums to the world-renowned Royal Albert Hall. Exclusive international schools, such as the Thomas’s Battersea and Wetherby Kensington, attract families seeking a global educational experience. High-end shopping, gourmet dining, and beautiful parks like Kensington Gardens, with its Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, and Holland Park, known for its Kyoto Garden and open-air theatre performances, further elevate the area.
