Where are the unique attractions in Kensington?
The Attractions of Kensington
Near to any accommodation in Kensington is the Natural History Museum. Here you'll discover wonders for all ages that start with a roaring animatronic dinosaur and range through planet Earth to the exhibits in the Darwin Centre. Everything is housed in a building straight out of a Gothic fairytale.
Built as a royal residence in the early 17th century, Kensington Palace still provides accommodation for some of the royal family but you can still enjoy its state apartments, King's Gallery, Drawing Room, Cupola Room, sunken gardens and more.
Surrounding the palace are the beautiful Kensington Gardens. These are home to the famous statue of J M Barrie's Peter Pan, the Round Pond with its waterfowl, the Italian Gardens and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. Keep an eye out as well for the Elfin Oak. This 900-year-old tree stump is carved with gnomes, witches, elves and other small fairy creatures.
