About South Kensington
South Kensington is London’s museum quarter, in the SW7 postcode within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Exhibition Road links three of the country’s greatest free museums — the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum — alongside the Royal Albert Hall and Imperial College London. With Hyde Park to the north and Chelsea to the south, the area draws heavy visitor and academic traffic, so a pre-booked, fixed-fare minicab is a reliable way to reach the airports or move across town.
