Grand-scale and spacious living is what people enjoy in this premier residential area of Kensington W8, offering an abundance of imposing frontages on quiet squares. A lot of the houses are extremely large and even when they have been converted into flats, as many have been; these Kensington apartments are still enormous. Kensington is grand and spacious with Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park to walk, jog or ride in.

Kensington is home to many excellent schools and public transport runs very frequently through the wide main roads and there are several Underground stations, which means commuting to the West End and the City is very simple. Taxis are also in abundance here too. Although the rents are high in this area, expense is spared on long commuter journeys.

There are many different types of properties that sit amongst each other in Kensington. Modern developments and mansion blocks are situated next to quaint shops, cosy pubs, cafés and restaurants. Residential housing, including attractive cottages line many of the roads and you will also find that some of the properties have extremely well maintained front gardens.

In Kensington you are within easy reach of escapism, as two of London's most adored open spaces, Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens are within easy reach. Unfortunately during the war, Holland House was bombed. In 1952 the London County Council bought the land and since then it has been enjoyed by vasts amounts of people. Most of the gardens have remained including the Rose Garden, the Dutch Garden and the Italian Garden. In 1991, the Kyoto Japanese Garden also came on the scene.

Public transport feeds Kensington very well. If you fly regularly transport to either Heathrow or Gatwick is simple. For Heathrow Airport take the Underground to Earls Court along the District Line, change at Earls Court and take the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow. To get to Gatwick Airport, take either the District or Circle line tube to Victoria Station and then the Gatwick Express (train) into Gatwick.
