Really nice. Hyde Park just next door, and Kensington High Street for all your shopping needs.
I live in Bloomsbury if you count that as near.

most people i know who live around Kensington wouldn't.

As an area its really nice, quite upmarket. If your looking for places to stay whilst doing a placement at the Royal Garden Hotel then areas to look would be Earls Court, Olympia/West Ken, Notting hill sort of areas as they are cheaper than Kensington itself and have bus routes to High Street Ken.

LOL Bloomsbury is about 2 miles from Kensington - at least!

I used to work on Kensington High Street. Nice place, mostly nice people (nicer than the shitheads you get in the rest of London anyway).
theres LOADS of french people, and french shops and french ****ing schools
Ah well. Distances seem a lot nearer for me because of public transport that I didn't have as much before I lived in London. :smile:

One of my lecturers is French (and lived in the USA too) and he's arrogant. Shame I haven't seen him recently. Could mention about a rugby score. :rolleyes:

theres quite a few italians too.
Kensington is a well nice area though - one of the (if not, the) most expensive places to live in the UK.
Belgravia is the most expensive place to live in the UK. :smile:
I live in Earl's Court and I love it
