About Kensington

Kensington has long been one of London’s most beautiful and popular residential areas. With ample green spaces within easy walking distance, a practical choice of shopping, from upmarket food retailers to luxury chains, and London’s greatest museums, it can offer everything you need.

Properties in Kensington

The area has mixed architecture, with Victorian houses lining Abingdon Villas and grander white stucco houses found around Kensington Gate. Both are popular with European and English families. Kensington Green is a highly secure and maintained modern development making it popular with those wanting somewhere you can ‘lock up and leave’. They also contain some show-stopper family homes.
