Kensington (London), a district of West London, England, is located less than three miles away from Charing Cross. This densely populated area is considered to be affluent. At the heart of this bustling town is the even more bustling Kensington High Street, which contains well-known museums, as well as a busy commercial center of shops – typically upmarket. In fact, this street was decided to be London’s second best shopping street in February 2005 because of the range and number of retail.

Have you ever seen the movie “Notting Hill” starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant? That town is on the border of Kensington, London on the north. To the south is Kensington’s second activity center, which boasts a variety of small shops clustered near the Underground Station. Travelers will also find the Exhibition Road in the southern end of Kensington, which links the area’s museums and educational institutions together.
