Where it all began
South Kensington has been a popular London destination for a number of years. Before it was a busy hub within the city, the area was rich farmland. That was all changed in 1851 when the Great Exhibition was set up in Hyde Park, making the borough into a popular and exclusive place to live.
As interest in the area grew, many buildings sprung up throughout South Kensington. Several structures were used to display the latest scientific advances and art for the first ever Cultural and Industry Fair. These buildings have since become some of the most world-renowned museums. Once the underground came to South Kensington, the area exploded and has remained popular ever since.

However, if you can afford it, it really is worth spending the money so that you can take advantage of the elegant offerings. As well as the usual spacious apartments, there are also housing options in the area, the majority of which are found of clean, tree-lined streets.
