Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on the doorstep — exceptional for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Holland Park offers a quieter, more local alternative with formal gardens, a Japanese garden, and wildlife.
🏫 Schools & Education
Kensington has outstanding private and state schools including Kensington Preparatory School, Thomas's Kensington, and proximity to many of London's top independent schools. A major draw for families relocating to W8.
🚆 Transport Links
