South Kensington, Cultural district in London, England.
South Kensington extends across 2.4 miles west of Charing Cross, encompassing commercial zones, garden squares, and residential streets near the underground station.
Following the Great Exhibition of 1851, commissioners acquired 87 acres to establish institutions dedicated to arts and sciences, transforming the former Brompton area.
The district contains three major museums - Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum - along with Imperial College London.
The pedestrianized Exhibition Road provides access to multiple transport connections, restaurants, cafes, and educational institutions within walking distance.
During World War II, South Kensington became a refuge for European communities, particularly from Belgium, France, and Poland, creating international neighborhoods.
