Kensington is not uniform. The micro-location shown on each card, together with the postcode district, is a better guide than the area name alone.
The observed rates cluster in bands. Two properties in the same band tend to differ more by position than by price.
Where we could not confirm a pool, parking, a pet policy or a star rating, the page says nothing about it. A blank is not a no.
Every price on this page is a single observation from August 2026. London rates move with the calendar.
The selection spreads across 6 postcode districts, with SW5 (26), SW7 (13), SW1X (3) and W8 (2) carrying the most properties. That spread is the practical difference between one option and the next: the area name stays the same while the street around it does not.
By micro-location the weight sits in Earl's Court (27), South Kensington (11), Belgravia (3) and Brompton (2). Those names come from OpenStreetMap neighbourhood data rather than from marketing copy, which is why some of them are narrower than the district a booking site would show you.
Across the two nearest stations for each property, the networks that come up most often are Underground and Overground. If your trip depends on one particular line, read the station list on the individual pages rather than the area name.
The Brompton Hotel is the closest property in our selection, about 200 yards in a straight line. The full ordering by distance is in the comparison table above.
Of the properties we hold here, 14 sat in the budget band in our August 2026 source data, the lowest observed being Cromwell Hotel at around £64 per night. Those figures are observations, not quotes.
We confirmed a parking arrangement at 5 of the properties here, including The Brompton Hotel, Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London and The Berkeley, Maybourne. Parking terms and prices change, so confirm with the property before you drive.
No. Every distance is a straight line from the property postcode to Kensington. Pavement routes are longer, and in parts of London noticeably longer, because of rivers, rail lines and main roads. We publish the measurement we can reproduce rather than a walking time we have not checked.
Across the 39 properties here with a credible observed rate, the median was around £107 per night in August 2026, ranging from about £64 to £141. Those are single observations from one month and they are not a forecast for your dates.
