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.
Getting Around:
Rail: Mainline rail stations are within easy reach via the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines. Kensington (Olympia) provides a link with the London Overground network.
Tube: High Street Kensington, Gloucester Road and South Kensington are all on the Circle and District lines. The Piccadilly line also links South Kensington and Gloucester Road to the West End in around 10 minutes, and in the other direction, to Chiswick, Ealing, Hounslow and Heathrow Airport. In addition, Kensington (Olympia) in Zone 2 serves the western part of Kensington.
Bus: Many buses pass through the area, allowing easy connections to the West End, mainline railway stations and destinations in west and south London. The number 9 goes to Trafalgar Square, and the 10 to Oxford Street and King’s Cross. The number 27 connects with major intersections Paddington, Marylebone and Baker Street.
Road: The A4 Cromwell Road provides a link to the West End to the east and to Hounslow and Heathrow Airport to the west. To the south is Fulham Road, which connects South Kensington with Fulham and the south-west.
Cycle: Changes to the layout of Kensington High Street have resulted in a more pedestrian and cycle friendly environment. There are also cycle routes through the Royal Parks.
Getting away: The major railway stations are all quickly accessible by tube. The journey time to Heathrow Airport Terminals 1, 2 and 3, via South Kensington on the Piccadilly line, is about 42 minutes. A quick tube hop to Victoria gives access to the Gatwick Express.

We kindly request that you read the house rules prior to booking and respect them during your stay. Parties or events of any kind will not be tolerated.
