Address: South Kensington
Underground Station, London, SW7 2NB
Network: London Underground (tube)
Line: Circle, District, Piccadilly
Fare Zone: 1
South Kensington is a very popular and upmarket area reflected in both the housing and the shopping in that area. It probably marks the start of the heart of central London proper as you hit London from the West and come in along the A4 dual carriageway. Its within the SW7 postcode which takes in areas such as Kensington, Knightsbridge, Queens Gate and parts of Chelsea. Indeed its within the London borough of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. There are no actual boundaries to mark out South Kensington and is best defined as centred on the tube station and stretching out to the Royal Albert Hall to the North, Gloucester Road to the West, Fulham Road to the South and East. A mix of expensive residential properties, both houses and apartments, and chic shopping with associated amenities such as cafes and bars. South Kensington was largely an agricultural area until the mid 1800's when it began to develop along traditional commercial lines. Perhaps most notable in this area are the three major museums of natural History, Science and the the Albert and Victoria museum. The Natural History Museum is one of the grandest looking buildings in London and a magnificent piece of architecture. This area is referred to locally as 'South Ken'.
