<\/p>\nWhen it comes to enjoying the quaint streets and picturesque green spaces of London that are romanticised on screen, there\u2019s nowhere better than Kensington. Widely considered one of the most exclusive postcodes in the UK, the West London location is not just a cultural nucleus with royal connections, but a bustling destination that combines the best of city life with a village feel. And while the popularity of London locations can wax and wane, Kensington\u2019s desirability remains steadfast. Here are five reasons why it\u2019s still a sought-after location for property hunters, investors and A-listers\u2026<\/p>\n
Character at every corner<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something timeless about Kensington. Thanks to its iconic architecture, pretty garden squares and elegant cobblestone streets, a casual walk in the area can feel plucked straight out of a movie. Locals and tourists are used to charm at every turn, whether it\u2019s a street of beloved stucco-front Victorian terraces or postcard-perfect mews. And that\u2019s not to mention the world-famous sites like Kensington Palace that draw in tourists from across the globe.<\/p>\n

While architecture and history give Kensington its timeless character, impressive arts and food credentials place it at the cutting edge of contemporary culture too. Of course, there\u2019s the V&A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Design Museum there to satisfy and inspire curious souls of all ages; the breath-taking Royal Albert Hall for live music across all genres; and The Serpentine for some of the most exciting contemporary art being made today \u2013 but it\u2019s not just the big institutions that make the location desirable. <\/p>\n
A feast of food, drink and green spaces<\/p>\n
Its abundance of eating and drinking spots means both residents and visitors are spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re after tradition at the capital\u2019s oldest family-run restaurant, Il Portico, an afternoon spent looking out onto the park at The Italian Gardens Caf\u00e9 or a cosy glass of wine and small plates at Vitis, the area\u2019s balance of new and old means you can always find something that satisfies. <\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not to mention how it\u2019s easy to make wellness a priority in Kensington. The stunning green spaces of Holland Park and Hyde Park provide ample opportunity for relaxation, while high-end gym offerings such as Equinox make health and fitness a frankly luxury experience. <\/p>\n
