If you want a trip comprised of culture, excellent food and lush green spaces – this is the place for you. Tucked away in stately Kensington, this deluxe apartment is just moments away from London's finest museums and world-class shopping scene. It's right on the doorstep of the must-see areas of the capital. Begin your day at the fascinating museums that are just minutes from your home. Mosey around the Natural History Museum and The V&A museum, stopping off for a coffee and sandwich at one of the independent cafes. If you keep heading central, you'll quickly reach the shopping oasis of Knightsbridge. Here, you'll find iconic stores, such as the world-famous Harrods, and lavish boutiques selling premium items. Once the energy of the day meets the excitement of the evening, find a top-rate restaurant to rest your legs.

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.
