Well-known as the heart of London's museum district, Kensington graces onlookers with its wealth of architectural beauty and history. Home to the architectural masterpiece that is Kensington Palace, the cutting-edge museums of South Kensington, luxury brands lining High Street, and the tranquil expanse of Kensington Gardens - it is a microcosm of what makes London special.

Prestigious institutions such as the Imperial College London, Royal College of Music, and the Royal Albert Hall pepper the landscape further. Numerous embassies and consulates reinforce Kensington's place on the global stage. Dotted also with many stately garden squares and trendy bars, Kensington has delighted luminaries including Daniel Day Lewis, Freddie Mercury and Jimmy Page.

Served by an efficient transport network, including tube stations and bus services, the area is a hotspot for media, football and exudes an air of cosmopolitan dynamism. From the bustling Earls Court to the leafy Brompton, its sub-districts each carry their own unique flair. All in all, Kensington embodies a textured, vibrant and cultured side of London ripe for exploration.

When to visit Kensington

The most opportune times to drink in the enchantment of Kensington fall between May and June, or September and October. These periods promise a reprieve from the more tourist-heavy months of July, August, and December, lending you the city to explore it at your leisure.

The allure lingers through winter, too, with an array of indoor venues offering cultural and historical insights at a more budget-friendly rate. Bear in mind, however, that the London skies are known to be quite generous with rainfall between October and January. For a blend of pleasant weather and less crowded experiences, September stands out as an ideal month to set foot in Kensington.
