Kensington, Knightsbridge and Earls Court neighbourhoods
London’s exclusive Knightsbridge district follows the southern side of Hyde Park Corner starting in Belgravia, the Queen’s neck of the woods. Follow the alluring line of luxury shops along Brompton Road, resisting Harrods, through one of London’s ultimate “des res” enclaves. Knightsbridge hotels link to tree-lined Kensington Road, which features Queen Vic’s shrine to her husband, the Royal Albert Hall. You’ll reach fashionable and more affordable Art Deco High Street Kensington from here. Head south of your hotel in Kensington to “bedsit land” in Earls Court, which clusters south of West Cromwell Road.

Drop off your bags full of TK Maxx and Topshop booty at your Kensington hotel after a more modest splurge on High Street Kensington.
