Getting around the area is easy, most people are happy to walk, but there are many bus routes that will take you from one end of the High Street to the other and to other districts within the borough.

Kensington Hotels
Some of the best hotels outside of central London can be found in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
They all have their own unique reputation, but the majority range from 3 star to 5 stars with most being 4 stars. They all have one thing in common though; location, location, location. Perhaps the most upmarket are the Royal Garden Hotel and the Milestone Hotel. neither is cheap but very luxurious.
One we like as value for money is the Kensington Close Hotel just 2 minutes walk from the tube station..
The borough is just 3 miles as the crow flies from central London, with easy late night public transport buses, tube trains and taxis.
The best way to find a Kensington hotel within your budget or needs range, is to let Hotel-Assist do the work for you.

The Phillimore club is a women only club and beauty centre, and it boasts a beautiful swimming pool.
Kensington Pub Culture
Kensington has some fine pubs, but a `spit and sawdust` establishment is not one you'll find here.
The pub culture is more `Hooray Henry` than `Hooray Harry`, and the dress code is somewhat more fashionable.
The Goat, Berties Bar and The Prince of Wales are just 3 on the High Street alone, most of the bars are in the side streets and it is fun exploring the area if you are a first timer here.
There are a couple of clubs here as well, but they are private members clubs that cater to the upper classes, they are very particular who they let in so dress smart.
A casino the Connoisseur Club can also be found in the High Street, inside the Royal Garden hotel.
