South Kensington area guide
One of the most popular places to visit in London, it’s not hard to see why South Kensington is so sought after with visitors and locals alike. Home to the London Science Museum as well as the Natural History and V&A Museums, the main road running through it – Exhibition Road – is vibrant and buzzing as it works its way up to towards the infamous Albert Memorial and Hyde Park.
With spectacular architecture everywhere you look, there’s something for everyone; from the iconic Royal Albert Hall to the marvellous Italianate Brompton Oratory Catholic church. This elegant, highly cultured part of London also boasts a notably French feel about it thanks to a sizeable population of students. The Institut Français and Lycée Français are nearby, as well as a large number of language schools. Prestigious colleges include Imperial College, the Royal College of Music and the Royal College of Art plus many international embassies.
When it comes to eating, shopping and relaxing there’s wealth of bars, hotels and restaurants to choose from here too, alongside many high-end clothes and furniture shops.
