"As a royal borough, it should come as no surprise that Kensington & Chelsea is often referred to as a posh area. Grand Georgian townhouses, boutique shops, and exclusive nightclubs line the pristine streets of this sophisticated neighborhood. The area is also home to some of the city’s most popular museums and landmarks, making it a worthwhile destination during your trip. Visit Kensington Palace and explore some of the rooms used by royals past and present, as well as a fascinating exhibition showcasing the fashion trends of Princess Diana. Be sure to check out the amazing and free Victoria & Albert Museum, and, if it’s a nice day, Holland Park is a beautiful green space with a Japanese themed garden that you can relax in. When it’s time to unwind, head to the Kensington Wine Rooms for great wine accompanied by some tasty European snacks." - MATADOR_NETWORK
