South Kensington & Gloucester Road

South Kensington is a district in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London.  It is hard to define national boundaries for South Kensington, but when people talk about it they are generally talking about the commercial area around the tube station and the adjacent graceful garden squares and streets, such as Thurloe Square opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum. The smaller neighbourhood around Gloucester Road tube station, can also be considered part of South Kensington as well as the institution area around Exhibition Road, which includes famous names such as the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Baden-Powell House, Royal Albert Hall, Imperial College, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Music.

Sandwiched between the extremely affluent areas of Knightsbridge and Chelsea, South Kensington is harder to characterise.  Although a wealthy area overall, it also caters for large tourist populations reflected by the eateries and shops around South Kensington tube station.
