One of the capital&#39;s heavyweight cultural and education hubs, affluent South Kensington, affectionately known as &#39;South Ken&#39;, is also unsurprisingly one of the central London&#39;s most desirable residential areas bordering the glossy postcodes of Knightsbridge, Kensington, Fulham and the green fringes of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Perhaps best known for its world-class museums clustered within a small square footage of SW7, the area brags the Victoria and Albert Museum (the V&amp;A), the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Within striking distance are leading universities including Imperial and LSE. As such, attraction-heavy South Kensington gets busy. But away from the visitors, in green pockets of this historic district, sit some of the capital’s finest properties tucked away on quiet, leafy streets, curling around private garden squares and lining roads behind London’s iconic museums and top education facilities. From our offices on Old Brompton Road, each year we help buyers from across the globe make SW7 their home, securing some of the area’s best properties – from large, European-style apartments in red brick mansion blocks to grand family homes and freshly launched new developments.

View over rooftops

Affectionately known as ‘South Ken’, upscale and cosmopolitan SW7 attracts thousands of tenants each month with its proximity to London’s best universities, the popular Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, beautiful residential roads and garden squares, and the many shops, restaurants and bars lining the newly pedestrianised area around Gloucester Road station.
