This raised ground floor flat within a quiet neighbourhood, right next to the Olympia Exhibition Centre, is perfect for anyone keen to explore West London. Tucked between Kensington and Hammersmith, there are tonnes of great restaurants, shops, and bars to check out in the immediate area. And if guests want to go a bit further afield, there is easy connectivity to the rest of the city via the overground and tube.

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
