Hyde Park. The apartments are on the
South side of the park and close to the spectacular
Albert memorial
which is opposite the Royal Albert Hall. The Citadines is situated at the top
(north) of Gloucester Road just a short walk from the fashionable
Kensington High Street Shopping area. Nearby on Cromwell Road are the
Natural
History and
Science Museums and the Albert and Victoria museum. The world famous Harrods
department store is less than a mile away in Knightsbridge along with a huge
range of upmarket shops, restaurants and bars. Perhaps two of the best known

Buckingham
Place which is 1.8 miles from here and the
