Property for sale in Kensington is situated in the prestigious postcode of W8, and comes under the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Kensington is, in general, an extremely affluent area - a trait it shares with its neighbour to the south, Chelsea; and Knightsbridge and Brompton to the east. It is a lovely area, with Kensington Gardens, Holland Park and Hyde Park right on the doorstep. If you're hunting for flats in Kensington you will find a good selection of flats in predominantly 1930's portered mansion blocks. These flats are by no means cheap; you should expect to pay in the region of £190k+ for a studio flat. If you're house hunting at the other end of the spectrum, a typical Victorian period terraced town house off Kensington High Street could cost from approximately £2m+. There are some really impressive properties in sought after leafy residential roads in Kensington, the most prestigious of which can command prices in excess of £4.5m+.
Amenities for Kensington properties
If you're looking for a house in Kensington and you like to shop, you won't be disappointed. At its heart is Kensington High Street, which in February 2005 was declared London's second best shopping street for its diversity of shops. Nearby Kensington Church Street is renowned for its antique shops. If you're looking for something different take a short stroll north to fashionable Notting Hill, or visit Portobello Road Market on Saturday mornings. Notable places to visit in Kensington include: Kensington Palace (the former home of the late Princess Diana), Holland Park, the Royal Albert Hall, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Royal College of Art, and Imperial College London. Kensington offers a good selection of restaurants and watering holes. Try Kensington Roof Gardens for alfresco dining: the restaurant and stunning gardens are located 30 metres above street level, providing a panoramic view over west London on a clear day.
Transport for Kensington
Kensington benefits from good transport. The Circle and District lines run from Kensington High Street tube station, with mainline stations Paddington and Victoria both conveniently close-by. Buses are plentiful, and there are good road links to west London towards Heathrow and the west.
