The Villa Kensington

Enjoy the best of what the smart neighbourhood of Kensington has to offer with a stay at The Villa Kensington.

A two-minute walk from Gloucester Road Tube Station (District and Circle lines), it’s located on a quiet street in a historic building. Rooms are light, spacious and modern with a choice of single, double and triples.

Kensington is a cultural hub, much of which is a short walk or Tube ride away. South Kensington is home to major museums like the V&A, which has a vast fashion gallery and newly opened photography exhibition space. The Science and Natural History Museums are popular with children; don’t miss the life-size blue whale skeleton, which you can see for free.

High-Street Kensington is a seven-minute ride via the Circle line and is a vibrant shopping quarter. It’s also home to the Design Museum and Holland Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London. It features two perfectly manicured Japanese gardens and a stunning orangery. If you’re lucky, you may spot the roaming peacocks.
