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.

Off Campden Hill Road is Holland Park Comprehensive School for boys and girls aged 11 to 18 and, towards Kensington High Street, is King's College London, which is part of the University of London. Situated close to Kensington Palace, the former home of the late Princess Diana, is Ashbourne College, an independent sixth form for students studying for 'A' levels. Other places of interest include Holland Park with its wonderful children's play area, the Royal Albert Hall, renowned for its concerts and, towards South Kensington, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
