The Neighborhood:
Kensington is a timeless picture-postcard view of London– a vista of smart townhouses, Royal Parks, great Victorian museums and garden squares. To a large extent, it’s an upmarket area full of hotels, embassies and show homes of the super-rich, given all the more glamour by the area’s royal connections. Kensington High Street runs through the heart of the neighbourhood, but its high-street stores and office blocks are unrepresentative of the exclusivity of the surrounding residential enclave, much of which is covered by a conservation area. South Kensington, where those famous museums are located, is at one end and has its own character. Kensington is roughly bounded by Kensington High Street to the south, Notting Hill to the north, Holland Park to the west and Hyde Park to the east.
**Eating:**
**The Ivy Kensington Brasserie:** Offering classic British cuisine with a modern twist, The Ivy Kensington Brasserie is renowned for its elegant ambience and delectable dishes. From brunch to dinner, indulge in fine dining in the heart of Kensington.
**Dishoom Kensington:** A highly popular (and for good reason) modern Indian restaurant with incredible dishes for all flavour and spice connoisseurs.
**Aubaine Kensington:** Step into a chic and stylish French-inspired bistro. With its charming atmosphere and mouthwatering selection of pastries, brunch options, and contemporary French cuisine, it's a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
**Drinking:**
Trailing plants, antiques and bunting hang from the rafters of the Churchill Arms on Kensington Church Street. Its range of cask ales and reasonably priced Thai menu are popular with locals and visitors alike. The terrace at The Scarsdale Tavern spills onto the Georgian Edwardes Square, and offers a hearty gastropub menu. The latest in craft beers and hipster bar snacks are served at the Hansom Cab on Earls Court Road. For some mouth-watering cocktails, High Spirit Cocktail Bar ticks the boxes.
**Culture:**
The Design Museum relocated in 2016 to the listed Commonwealth Institute building in Kensington, which was repurposed for its use. The museum’s collections and changing line-up of exhibitions, talks and workshops celebrate innovation and creativity in design of everything from table lamps to rocket ships. Preserved for the nation by the Victorian Society, 18 Stafford Terrace is a time capsule of 19th-century life, which is open to the public. The home of *Punch* cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne and his family, it is an example of a ‘house beautiful’ and richly decorated with objects from Japan, China and the Middle East.
