Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

Located between Westminster and Hammersmith, this London borough spans over 12 square kilometers and contains districts such as Notting Hill and South Kensington.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea was formed in 1965 through the merger of two metropolitan boroughs, inheriting Kensington's royal status granted in 1901.

Three major museums line Exhibition Road: the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum, creating a concentrated center of education.

The district connects to central London through twelve underground stations across five different tube lines, providing direct access to multiple parts of the city.

With over 31,000 residents per square mile, this administrative region ranks as the most densely populated local authority area in the United Kingdom.
