London » Kensington

Revered for its luxurious properties and the High Street which was voted Britain's second-best shopping area, Kensington is best known for housing London's much loved V&A, Natural History and Science Museums. Around the beautiful Kensington gardens are a number of friendly little streets offering Italian restaurants, gourmet delis and cosy bars, perfect for lazy afternoons of sightseeing. While you are there, take the time to venture up to the little-known Kensington roof gardens, which are astonishingly the largest such gardens in Europe, and home to a number of flamingos, ducks and thirty species of trees.

For those looking for a superior night out, Kensington comes highly recommended; you are guaranteed to find bar-staff with an extensive knowledge of wines, and venues which represent the epitome of today's style. For a corporate event, or private party that aims to impress, you could do no better than indulge in one of the many haunts of London's rich and glamorous, tucked away in Kensington's leafy suburbs.
