London, United Kingdom

Kensington is a leafy and upscale district in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Sharing, with its neighbour Chelsea, not only a privileged location in the west-end of Central London but also a high-status, Kensington is one of the most desirable areas in the UK's capital. Thanks to its exclusive real estate and charming Victorian-terraced houses, Kensington has flats costing up to £2,000 (you’ll find more affordable places in West Kensington). The “Royal Borough” houses some of London’s most notable museums and higher-education institutions. If culture is your thing, get ready to explore Kensington’s gems: the Natural History Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal Albert and Kensington Palace. Places like the Imperial College London and the Royal College of Music makes it a great area for students. Uniplaces help you find cosy and fully furnished flats to rent in Kensington and surrounding areas. Our options range from 2 or 3-bedroom apartments, and rooms for rent. The best thing is that this district gives access to public transport thanks to its underground stations (High Street Kensington Station, Gloucester Road), and a number of local buses.
