Serviced apartments from one night upwards

One of London's wealthiest areas, South Kensington is home to some of the capital's cultural landmarks and most famous museums, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Science Museum and The Natural History Museum as well as Royal Parks and a huge range of fabulous shops. And the museums are free! Located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, an inner London borough with royal status. It is the smallest borough in London and the second smallest district in the whole of England.

South Kensington, also known as South Ken, is an area where you can while away a whole day and enjoy some great culture and entertainment and where there are lots of places to go in the evening for a bite to eat or a drink after work.   From DJs, films, late night exhibitions, concerts, inspiring talks, immersive performances, sleepovers, Museum Lates and lectures.

Out and about in South Kensington there are plenty of great outdoor attractions for you to visit ranging from boating on the Serpentine, walking tours around Albertopolis, Queen Caroline's temple, the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, having and ice cream in Kensington Gardens, a trip to Princess Diana's Memorial Playground and so much more....

And last but not least the Royal Albert Hall. London's famed venue hosts many concerts, performances and even tennis matches, as well as the renowned BBC Proms.

Beside the Royal Albert Hall is the Royal College Art, a postgraduate art and design college which holds regular exhibitions of the work of up-and-coming artists and designers.

Fashion and style are synonymous with South Kensington. Look back in time or look to the future of fashion at some of London's leading museums, particularly the Victoria & Albert Museum or V & A.  You can enjoy art and design from the past 3000 years including ceramics, furniture, fashion, jewellery, photography, sculpture, textiles and paintings.

South Kensington can be enjoyed with children and is the ideal place for a family city break or short vacation. The family-friendly Science Museum caters for children of all ages. The interactive Garden area is specially for the under fives, while the hands-on Launchpad gallery is great for teenagers.

And next door is the Natural History Museum where you can come face-to-face with a giant T-rex and experience the sensation of an earthquake in the Power Within zone.

The area is well served with parks, namely Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Some of our Kensington properties are within easy walking distance of the parks and are even pet friendly so you can enjoy a stay in London with your four legged friend!
