Kensington Railway Station is a little further away than South Kensington Station, however it is close to bars, cafes and restaurants so a great place for a bite to eat or a drink before/ after getting the train.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful park with an oval, childs play area, soccer pitch and rugby & cricket pitches. Many people walk their dogs here also. Literally out the front door and over the road. Also some electric BBQs and picnic tables for public use next to the playground.
