Kensington, London, GB

Kensington, in many respects, epitomises everything that is good about the city of London. Fashionably modern, stylish and yet classy and historic, Kensington is one of London’s greatest treasures.

Kensington has long been associated with the British royal family, not least because of its being home to The Albert Hall and Kensington Palace. Befitting this regal association, the architecture of Kensington exudes an ancient elegance, and a wander around the streets of this borough is alone well worth the visit.

Aside from the pleasures of its elegance, Kensington also has plenty to offer its visitors seeking a fine dinner or a quiet drink, with numerous upmarket restaurants and bars lining its streets, as well as all the usual fast food cafes and coffee shops.

Kensington High Street is another of the many fantastic reasons for paying a visit to this locale. Widely regarded as a shopper’s paradise, the High Street is home to every store from Clarks and Ann Summers to Sisley and Kurt Geiger, and restaurants and cafes that include McDonalds and Starbucks.

With so many visitors drawn to the ancient streets of Kensington, the area is fully stocked with city hotels and cheap accommodation. There are discount hotels conveniently placed for transport links, and more than one cheap hotel that caters for those planning hectic shopping trips.
