About South Kensington
South Kensington is one of the most famous areas of London, well known for its many attractions including the Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Hyde Park. There is a truly continental feel here, with a large percentage of residents originating from Europe, and an especially strong French community due to the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, based within the borough.
Al fresco dining is popular, giving the streets a vibrant community feel, particularly along Thurlow Street. This chic, glamorous neighbourhood also offers fantastic shopping from designer shops to florists to food and wine.
