Richards London Guide.

South Kensington

The area is wealthy with trendy restaurants, shops, coffee shops, bars and pubs all near-by.  This area is a shopper’s paradise with many of the big-name brands plus boutique shops on Walton Street and Sloane Avenue.

If guests fancy more then head deeper into Belgravia or Knightsbridge where guests will find a vast array of places to Eat, Drink and enjoy the fun of London’s night life! South Kensington is a diverse residential area where grand 18th– and 19th– century apartment buildings sit side by side with luxury town houses. The area is enjoyable, safe and well-to-do area. Handy for the West End theatres and shopping, it is filled with museums, galleries, and old school-pubs.
