Gloucester Park Apartments, Kensington

Although Kensington is moments from central London’s major business hubs and tourist attractions, the area retains a village feel due to its quaint and delicate streets. A sense of regality permeates the streets of Kensington-the area has strong historic ties to Royalty. Most prominently, Kensington Palace, the royal residence in Kensington Gardens, is the focal point of this affluent and exclusive suburb.

Kensington contains some of the most serene parks and squares in central London. Hyde Park, in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace, is a short journey from Kensington and offers a verdant surrounding in which to unwind.

Contrastingly, Kensington and the surrounding areas are renowned for their luxurious retail experiences. Outside of the chic boutiques of Kensington, nearby Knightsbridge features a collection of designer stores along with the world-renowned Harrods emporium.

London’s major tourist attractions are within a short taxi journey of Kensington. Westminster Abbey, the House of Parliament, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square and the West End are must visits for guests.
