Known for its world-class arts and science attractions, ‘South Ken’ as the locals refer to South Kensington, has been a home of refined tastes since the 19th Century. Once a predominantly agricultural area, the grounds of this beautiful part of London provided locals with seasonal produce. New roads and the London Underground eventually took over the farmland, but the natural landscape remains. The area is also known as a hub of London sophistication, attracting society types and celebrities who are proud to call it home. Boasting must-visits of the capital's design world such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, along with some of the best shopping and dining experiences in the UK, South Kensington is an essential on any London list.
