Things to do in Kensington

Kensington is a district of west and central London, England within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. An affluent and densely-populated area, its commercial heart is Kensington High Street and it contains the well-known museum district of South Kensington. To the north, Kensington is bordered by Notting Hill; to the east, by Brompton and Knightsbridge; to the south, by Chelsea and Earl’s Court; and to the west, by Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush.

Kensington is, in general, an extremely affluent area, a trait that it now shares with its neighbour to the south, Chelsea. The area has some of London’s most expensive streets and garden squares, including Edwardes Square, Earls Terrace – an exclusive redevelopment of Georgian Houses, The Phillimores, and Wycombe Square – a new build development done to a very high standard. In early 2007, houses sold in Upper Phillimore Gardens for in excess of £20 million. Additionally, most neighbouring districts are regarded as exclusive residential areas, including Knightsbridge and Brompton to the east and the nearest parts of Notting Hill to the north. To the west is the less affluent but up-and-coming area of Earl’s Court.

Kensington Airport Cars offer Airport transfers, taxi service to and from any London airport, seaport or cruise terminals. Our airport transfers are available from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City, Southampton, Dover and Harwich. Our services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you are looking for a taxi service to transfer you after landing in one of the London airports you are in the right place. In the UK we call taxi service as minicabs or black taxis. Black taxis are known for being expensive while pre-booked minicabs can be far cheaper than black taxis.

So if hire a minicab to take you to the airport you will receive the details of your assigned vehicle, together with a call back facility when the car arrives.
