In my opinion, best coffee in the neighbourhood! It is a small place so we use it more for quality takeaway coffee but they do have a few nice cosy seats too. 100% recommended!

Debenham House is perhaps the most flamboyant house built in the 20th century in London. It was designed by Halsey Ricardo for Ernest Debenham, the owner of Debenhams. Its exterior of blue and green glazed bricks is a sight to behold!

Take a walk along Kensington High Street where you’ll find plenty of typically upmarket high street stores to splash your cash in. Just don’t forget to explore the wonderful range of natural and organic food available in the Whole Foods Market London which sits in the fabulous Barkers building.

Great transport links
West Kensington is very well served when it goes to public transport, particularly if you're commuting around West London or into Central London. West Kensington station is on the District Line, while nearby Earls Court and Barons Court have access to both the District Line and the Piccadilly Line. As a result, Piccadilly Circus is just an 11 minute journey away, and Knightsbridge a mere 5 minutes.
You will need either an Oyster card that you can buy and recharge at tube stations or just use your tap and go credit/debit card instead, fares are the same either way.
