Hotels in Kensington, London
Kensington is one of west London's grandest districts, a run of white stucco terraces and garden squares around Kensington High Street. Kensington Palace and its gardens sit at the western edge of Hyde Park, and Holland Park, Leighton House and the Design Museum are close by. The Natural History Museum, the V&A and the Science Museum are a little further south, around South Kensington. High Street Kensington station is on the District and Circle lines. It suits families, museum-goers and travellers who want a smart residential base with plenty of cafés, shops and green space, and who accept that the address is priced accordingly.
