My little guidebook for London

Kensington Gardens is only a 10 minute walk up Gloucester Road and you can spend the whole day there relaxing and watching the world go by. Has great children's play ground too.

Our apartment is right next to the London Museum District and most people visit at least one of the big three: the Natural History Museum, (dinosaurs, animals and the human body), the Science Museum (steam engines, planes, trains and auto-mobiles) and the Victoria and Albert Museum. All within a 5-20 minute walk of the apartment along the Cromwell Road.

We are spoilt for choice in Kensington with amazing department stores just up the road within walking distance at Knightsbridge and the designer boutiques along sloane avenue or the thriving high street at High Street Kensington or on the Kings Road all within 20 minute walk or you can hop on a bus from Gloucester road or grab a Boris Bike and cycle there.

There are three great supermarkets all within a 5 minute walk of our apartment. If you want to go big there is a huge Sainsbury's on the otherside of the Cromwell Road , or on Gloucester Road you can do a quick stop for milk and essentials at Tesco Metro and somewhere in between is Waitrose is the which offers the highest quality supermarket experience in the UK.

We are in a great location for transport around London and out to Heathrow. Use the tube or catch a bus (the tube in normally quicker and the bus more leisurely) to pretty much anywhere. There are always loads of Ubers hanging around so you don't have to wait long.

So there are loads of great places to eat within a 5 minute walk of the apartment but we also visit other places so I thought I would give you a list of my favourites.
