Kensington Serviced Apartments - Lexham Gardens

Lexham Gardens is a popular residential road lined with beautiful period properties. The location has easy access to the first-class shopping and dining opportunities on offer around Kensington High Street. Earl's Court and Gloucester Road tube stations are a few minutes' walk away with convenient onward travel to the key business hubs and tourism attractions around the capital. Some of the area’s best landmarks can be easily reached by public transport or even a leisurely stroll, including the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, V&A Museum, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens, so you are spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do. Two hidden gems to visit are Leighton House & Sambourne House, two neighbouring homes of Victorian artists which have now been turned into some of London’s most photogenic museums. And screen buffs should wander down Kynance Mews, which has appeared in several films including The Big Sleep, and in TV shows such as Netflix’s You. 

Get your caffeine fix at cool Danish café Hjem; this snug community spot serves speciality coffee, pastries and bread, made using organic and locally-sourced ingredients. For lunch or dinner, you could try one of the nearby gastropubs. The Abingdon (10-minute walk) is a quaint art-deco spot that has been run by the Staples family since 1998 – head there for a modern British menu that celebrates the best of local, and a curated wine list to pair. Meanwhile, the stylish Devonshire Arms (5-minute walk) has a fabulous outside space in which to enjoy a summer evening meal and drink with friends or colleagues. French classics abound at Margaux (12-minute walk), a restaurant and wine bar in a stylish urban setting, while Dishoom (12-minute walk) is a popular spot for elevated Bombay comfort food and first-class drinks. And if you’re looking to use your fully-equipped apartment kitchen, a Sainsbury’s can be found just round the corner.
