Royal Borough
The high culture of Kensington is visible in its national museums, Imperial College, the Royal Colleges of Art and Music, important institutions, beautiful squares and grand Victorian houses.
Every summer, concert-goers flock to the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Across the street, Prince Albert’s memorial is sumptuously decorated with mosaics and statues of the artists and philosophers he admired. A stroll through Kensington Gardens takes you to Kensington Palace, birthplace of Queen Victoria.
