High Street Kensington tube is a 2-minute walk.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Hornton Street sits at one of London`s most remarkable geographical intersections. Portobello Road Market — antiques, independent boutiques, food stalls, and the energy of Notting Hill — is a short walk north. The Royal Albert Hall, one of the world`s great concert and events venues, is a short walk south, alongside the Natural History Museum, the V&A, and the Science Museum. Kensington Palace and Hyde Park are a 5-minute walk east. Holland Park`s famous Japanese Kyoto Garden is to the west. And Kensington High Street — with its shops, restaurants, cafés, and Whole Foods — is immediately at the end of the street.

For guests visiting London for its culture, its markets, its Royal landmarks, or simply its extraordinary green space, it is one of the finest addresses available.
