Kensington is an extremely affluent part of London and property prices in recent years have skyrocketed, with a knock-on effect for rental accommodation. If you're hunting for flats to rent in Kensington you will find a good selection in, predominantly, 1930s' mansion blocks, with the added bonus of a lift and porter. One-bedroom flats command rents of at least £1,500 per month but, if you're looking for something bigger, Victorian terraced townhouses, off Kensington High Street, will cost in the region of £5,400 per month. A more modest mews house, with two to three bedrooms, would have a monthly rental of approximately £2,700. Property to rent in Kensington is situated in the prestigious postcode of W8, and is within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
