Kensington and Kinghtsbridge is a great area to visit if you are in London. It is famous for its shops, sites and Museums whilst still being a very desirable place to live. You can start at Kensington Palace in Kensington Gardens, the royal residence of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and then head down to South Kensington to the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum. On your way High Street Kensington is great for shopping with all the big high street stores. However if it luxury and designer labels you are looking for you should continue to Knightsbridge where you will find the world famous Harrods and Harvey Nichols. Harrods is always packed with schoffer driven cars and personal shoppers, as people pile out with too many bags to carry, go into the food hall and find delicious Krispy Creme donuts, and then go to the 6th floor to find the Harrods pets shop. This department store literally has anything and everything you could need or want.
