Home to some of the most loved museums, you\u2019ve no doubt heard of Kensington. It\u2019s one of the most visited areas of London for its culture – with V&A, Natural History and the Science Museum right on the doorstep, and even walking down the streets, you\u2019ll feel a strong sense of beautiful architecture. The houses are equally gorgeous, with many associating the streets of South Kensington to Paris, for its charm and elegance. It\u2019s fair to say this area is affluent, with wonderful high-end shops, outstanding restaurants and equally stylish hotels to boost. There\u2019s no doubt that Kensington is an elegant part of London, and why it\u2019s one of the most desirable and visited areas.<\/p>\n

Coffee<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

If you can pry yourself away from the beautiful streets, you\u2019ll find an array of coffee shops. Bluebelles of Portobello<\/a> serves incredibly Caravan coffee alongside all day brunch and lunch (double win). It\u2019s intimate but has a vibrant and buzzing atmosphere, and their sourdough is worth shouting about. Trust us.
\nAlso try Over Under Coffee<\/a>, as they\u2019re down to earth, dynamic and delicious.<\/p>\n

Brunch<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

A great place to start your morning, is by having brunch at Bumpkin<\/a>. Bumpkin use the best British seasonal produce, so the only decision you have to make is which eggs you want for breakfast. Not only are the brunch options good, but the taste is even better, and all enjoyed in a comfortable setting with a touch of rustic simplicity. We also hear their Bloody Marys are famous too.
\nAlso try Ffiona\u2019s<\/a>, who claim to serve up the best brunch in London…<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Sometimes you just want a little bit of comfort, and Dirty Bones<\/a> offers just that. NYC inspired comfort food, and tasty cocktails with live music, in a neon-lit diner – we sure like Dirty Bones\u2019 thinking. We\u2019re also huge fans of the entrance, being greeted by a pinball machine at the bar which is definitely a quirky hang-out in it\u2019s own right. Oh and cocktail hour? You don\u2019t need to ask us twice…
\nAlso try Chicama<\/a>, as the flavours are bold and delicious.<\/p>\n

Pub<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Stunning interiors, and a focus on brunch and Sunday roasts, The Duke of Clarence<\/a> is where you\u2019ll want to be. The atmosphere is the perfect and relaxed place to catch up with friends, with a signature cocktail (or two), and their delicious food, and we\u2019d 100% recommend making your Sunday afternoon all about The Duke of Clarence, purely for the incredible roasts. Basically, you\u2019ll know where to find us\u2026
\nAlso try The Churchill Arms<\/a> for a proper real ale boozer.<\/p>\n

Drinks<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

They love wine. We love them (and their wine). It\u2019s as simple as that. Kensington Wine Rooms<\/a> is a stylish bar, with banquette seating for delicious wine by the glass, and Modern European bites. They design their menu to compliment the wines – and they sure do that well. They\u2019ve also acquired the reputation as one of London\u2019s best wine bars, and we sure agree with that.
\nAlso try Janet\u2019s Bar<\/a> for a truly down-to-earth vibe.<\/p>\n

Walk<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

With it being one of the most visited areas of London, Kensington isn\u2019t short of culture. Enjoy an afternoon at either the Natural History Museum, Science Museum or strolling around the V&A. Or if the weather is on your side, take a trip to Kensington Gardens, where it offers a mix of old and new park pastimes and green space. Whatever you decide to do, you\u2019ll realise you\u2019ve been walking for hours around Kensington…<\/p>\n
