Kensington High Street is one of London's most popular upmarket shopping areas. Surrounded by attractions such as Hyde Park, Holland Park, Commonwealth Institute and Kensington Palace (former home of the late Diana, Princess of Wales) as well as its own wealth of shopping and bars it's no wonder Kensington High Street is always high on any London visitors list of places to visit.
There's an excellent range of shopping including supermarket, cafes, bars, large
department store and perhaps best known off all the Barkers of Kensington
Arcade. Kensington High Street is located in the postcode of W8
