If you want a location in London with a park near by, several restaurants and stores close at hand, and just minutes away from about everything you would want to do in London, this is a great economical place. We walked most everywhere, but we do a lot of walking. If you would rather rent a bike they are right in the entrance of Kensington Park which was less than a block away. To take the underground, (Queens Way), or the bus it is a couple of blocks away.
