Once used as a baseball pitch during World War 2 this popular award-winning private garden square (Private access to the residents of Hereford Square) is located within the ever-popular area of South Kensington in West London.

Kensington Gardens forms the northern boundary of South Kensington. There are two memorials here dedicated to Princess Diana: the fountain and the playground with its pirate ship, known locally as the pirate park.

Other Kensington Gardens highlights are the Italian Gardens, the Serpentine Galleries, the Peter Pan statue and the Elfin Oak, an oak tree stump dotted with tiny carved fairies, elves and animals.

South Kensington is one of the world’s most culturally rich neighbourhoods, with the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum all based here.

There is music at the Royal Albert Hall, concerts at the Royal College of Music, and two national cultural institutes — the Institut Français and Goethe-Institut.

Exhibitions and lectures are a feature of the Royal Geographical Society, and there is all the excitement of the auction house at Christie’s South Kensington & Bank Heist Experience, for the inner adventurers inside us.

Over the years The Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group, opens its grounds, together with four Summer Houses designed by young architects for the summer season.

There are plenty of delicious places to eat or enjoy a drink here in South Kensington - from cafes, bars, afternoon tea, cocktails, bars, indoor picnic spots to a weekly Farmer's market.

The schools in Kensington are of a very high standard. The area is home to many of the top performing state schools in London. Notable primary schools to mention include Ark Brunel Primary Academy and Barlby Primary School, while secondary schools such as The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial RC School and Chelsea Academy are highly sought after. All of these have been rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted during their last round of reports. High-performing private schools include Bassett House and Cameron House at prep level, and Kensington Park School and Queen’s Gate School at the senior level.
