Kensington, Residential district in West London, Great Britain.
Kensington extends westward from Hyde Park with grand Victorian buildings, exclusive shopping streets, and garden squares surrounded by white stucco houses.
The area evolved from an agricultural village mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 into one of London's most important districts during the 19th century.
The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum form a concentration of educational institutions along Exhibition Road.
Three underground stations serve the area: High Street Kensington on the Circle and District lines, plus South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations.
Kensington Palace Gardens, a private road guarded by police, contains numerous diplomatic residences and ranks among the most expensive streets worldwide.
