KENSINGTON
Regarded as the “Royal District” of the city, Kensington is the
neighbourhood associated with the British royals, where you will find
Kensington Palace, the birthplace of Queen Victoria. Wandering
through its sophisticated streets you can admire the characteristic
London buildings, with their uniform facades and small staircases.
It is considered an important cultural centre, as it is home to the
Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, and the Victoria &
Albert Museum, which houses one of the world’s largest collections
of decorative arts. The luxurious Harrods department store and
the musical concerts held at the Royal Albert Hall, are part of the
cultural offer of Kensington.
