South Kensington has held its place on the map as an area of cultural and scientific importance since the Great Exhibition of 1851, and some of the world's most prestigious museums and universities grandly line up along Exhibition Road, showcasing West London’s distinctive stucco style. With the Natural History Museum, Royal Albert Hall and Victora and Albert attracting such a vibrant mix of people, it's easy to forget that this is a residential area as well.

However just by the Tube station is a continental style square often filled with locals breakfasting in the sun. Tucked behind the museums lie rows of mansion blocks, terraced houses clustering round pretty garden squares and fine examples of villa style housing. It’s said that the majority of London's French community live here – it's been nicknamed Paris’s ‘21st arrondissement’. There’s a Lycée as well as the French cultural institute nearby, and residents will tell you that South Ken is the only place in London you can buy a proper croissant. Residents tend to be professionals and the area is an unbeatable location for shopping, with two of London’s most iconic department stores nearby. The jewel in South Kensington’s dazzling crown is surely its proximity to the historic and beautiful Hyde Park.
