Hotels in West Kensington

Famous sports venues in West Kensington

Home to Olympia and Queen's Club, this affluent area of west London between Hammersmith, Fulham and Shepherd's Bush is known for its Victorian sports venues that sit alongside large mansion flats.

Watch a play at Barons Court Theatre

If you don't want to pay West End prices to see a show, check out this tiny theatre in the basement of The Curtains Up pub, a local institution. It stages plays and afternoon magic shows. You might even catch the next Benedict Cumberbatch here as it often features students from the Nearby Lamda drama school.

Enjoy free museums

The Natural History Museum is a short Tube ride from West Kensington. Walk beneath Hope, the giant skeleton of a blue whale that replaced Dippy the dinosaur in July 2017. Suspended from the ceiling, it takes centre stage in the Hintze Hall.
