The area is a mix of neighbourhoods and different atmospheres throughout. I can easily reach Knightsbridge and Harrods which is always busy and very touristy but I usually prefer walking towards South Kensington into Fulham road or further into king’s road. You will find yourself walking into some beautiful tree lined streets with colourful houses in Godfrey street (reminds me of Notting hill) or red brick period Mansions and beautiful Mews. There are families and dogs and you can casually hear kids playing from some of the best schools in London. I love to walk and hear kids screaming and having fun as it makes me feel hopeful for the future. I am 32 years old and don’t intent to have kids but I love to see them around. In terms of safety I would rate this a safe area with the casual car or house break in which is unavoidable these days but many streets have privately funded security at night time and that’s a bonus.
Transport
When it comes to transport links I cannot complain. South Kensington, Gloucester Road and Knightsbridge station are all without walking distance providing a reliable service all year round. Bus routes 49, 74, 114, 14, 70, C1, 430, 345 are also available at your door covering day and night service. The only issue is the amount of traffic we tend to get between Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner. It should be only a 7 minute ride but it can easily take 20 or more minutes by bus or car. It is that crazy so rush hour is a no for me and I’d rather walk.

I live in a garden square tucked away from the very busy brompton road. So, in between Knightsbridge and South Kensington. It is quite and very clean in my opinion. The Kensington and Chelsea borough does a brilliant jobs. Brompton Road is busy at every time of the day and night but being in a garden square changes that and it makes me feel almost as if I lived somewhere else. My neighbours are a mix of owners and renters but I would say mostly renters like myself and mostly Europeans. The main issue we face, however, is antisocial behaviour with fast cars driving as if they were in Silverstone. It produces noise especially in quite square gardens. They wouldn’t do it in Dubai because they can get arrested there but somehow they feel like they can do it here in London.
Amenities
I can describe the area I live as quite central in London. There is a wide range of upscale and long established restaurants from my favourite Italian to Russian, Chinese or Russian all within walking distance. The area is also filled with retail shops which range from fast fashion to luxury boutiques with the likes of Chanel and Hermes. Yet, the best part is the amount of green areas and open spaces we have available which is a true blessing as it motivates me on my morning walks and throughout the day. With tree lined streets, gorgeous garden squares and Hyde park at your door, spring and autumn are truly a feast for the eyes. Not to forget all the amazing local shops offering the best groceries out there from all over Europe. I cannot see myself living in London without those French and Italian delicatessen. Yes, I love my cheese, my DOP Pasta and my extra virgin olive oil as much as my local pub. In the recent years we have seen a growth in cafes but I am missing the wine bars and aperitifs we once had. Unfortunately those little places have moved out of the area but I remain hopeful for them to come back. Harrods is particular popular as well as the Victoria and Albert, Science and Natural History museums for reason I recommend morning visits between Monday and Wednesday. Any other day or time tends to get busy and crowded.

Love the area. Really enjoy everything about it

Transport is brilliant here. South Kensington tube station is just around the corner, which has quick links to most of london. Also makes it easy to travel to an overground station to reach more distant parts of the UK. If you prefer buses, there are also good bus connections to choose from. Of course, if you prefer to get a bit of exercise, you can also go for a boris bike! I avoid taking taxis and Ubers because it really isn’t necessary with all the choices of public transport

Amazing location with all the amenities and entertainment you could wish for on your doorstep. Good neighbours and a beautiful area, with green spaces nearby and very easy to meet friends due to proximity to transport links. Can get noisy in the evenings with tourists and party goers celebrating at nearby pubs and clubs, then walking past to get home, or carry on partying into the night outside
Amenities
Amazing location. I love living I. The heart of London. Every type of food you could wish for within walking distance. My favourite is a restaurant called Rocca - incredible, authentic Italian food. Plenty of places to wonder and enjoy, including the perfect green space of Hyde Park. Also plenty of little supermarkets open long hours to keep stocked up on essentials. When you want to party, you can find many great bars and clubs too. Really love meeting my friends in this area :)

The area is maintained and cleaned well on a regular basis. It is a nice area to live within and is very warm and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
Transport
Considering that everything you need is close by within the location, the convenience factor is amazing. Shops are nearby as well as restaurants. There are bus stops nearby and the closest tube station is Knightsbridge Underground station, which is about 7-10 minutes of a walking distance.
Community
I think that the best things about living within this area is that there are shops nearby. The area is very modern and welcoming. However, the noise within the area can be a bit disruptive during some nights as the streets remain busy within late hours.
Amenities
The local area is full of designer branded clothes shops which are modern and high end. Lowndes Square Garden is close by, roughly about a 5 minute walk and it is good for a relaxation area. Majority of restaurants are about 10-15 minutes away but are all close together. People in the local community are extremely friendly and are willing to help you with things such as directions or recommendations.
