A Visitor's Guide to Exploring London's Colourful Neighbourhoods

One of the things I love about walking around London is the many beautiful areas to explore. The city boasts 32 boroughs, each with something unique to offer. However, discovering London's hidden corners is best done on foot. Luckily, this vibrant capital is pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to find quirky and bright areas, mainly when staying at central properties like these Hotels Near Earls Court London. Here is a visitor's guide to exploring London's colourful neighbourhoods.

Hampstead

Known as one of the prettiest neighbourhoods in the city, Hampstead is renowned for its picturesque streets, cute shops, and sprawling Heath.

In addition, Hampstead is filled with hidden gems like the Holly Bush and Fenton House's tucked-away gardens. 

Kensington

Kensington is one of London's most elegant neighbourhoods due to its abundance of mews streets and royal residences. Kensington Palace Gardens and Kensington Church Street offer a variety of interesting details, such as impressive real estate. In addition to a bustling high street, pubs decorated with flowers, and candy-cane-striped buildings, there's a lot to see and do in this city. Visitors looking to spend most of their time in this area can book a stay at this Park Grand Kensington Accommodation.

Chelsea

One of the prettiest neighbourhoods in London is Chelsea, which is located next to South Kensington. Its side streets are bursting with colour, from pastel houses on Bywater Street to rainbow row homes on Godfrey Street. The King's Road isn't just about colours; it is also a great shopping destination and offers a view of the Thames and historic houses. Nature lovers will enjoy walking around the cosy side streets of Chelsea and exploring the Chelsea Physic Garden.

Knightsbridge

Luxury shopping and over-the-top house prices characterize Knightsbridge. Affluent and beautiful, this is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in London. While here, make sure to head to the many food halls at Harrods and take in the orange brick architecture on Pont Street. Knightsbridge is the ideal designer shopping spot for luxury Kensington London Hotels guests.

Notting Hill

Notting Hill is one of those neighbourhoods that always makes the list of places to visit in London. Known for its colourful houses and vibrant market, this place is popular with travellers and locals.

However, Portobello Road isn't the only thing to see here. Many shops and restaurants in Notting Hill attract people from all over London. We recommend booking a stay at the Hotels Near Gloucester Road Tube Station for easy access to this part of London.

Holland Park

Located next to Notting Hill, Holland Park often leaves visitors feeling enchanted. Beauty abounds in the park. One of the most spectacular sights in the city is its stunning spring tulips and summer roses. In addition to the Japanese garden, a peacock enclosure adds a magical aspect to the space. Nevertheless, Holland Park goes beyond the green space, especially the picturesque crescents and colours that fill the streets around it.

Charles Augustus Milverton

Published in 1904, this forms part of the Return collection.

Most chroniclers put this in 1899.

Milverton is seemingly inspired by Charles Augustus Howell, an art dealer and alleged blackmailer, who died in strange circumstances in 1890: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Augustus_Howell

Hampstead is located four miles NW of Charing Cross. Known for attracting a lot of artistic and intellectual people, it has some very expensive houses and a lot of millionaires. Notable residents past and present are numerous indeed, including Sting, Agatha Christie, Emilia Clarke, Muhammed Ali Jinnah, Florence Nightingale.

The area had began to expand with the arrival of what is now known as the North London line of London Overground, which operated services into Broad Street until that station closed in 1986. The now-Northern Line would reach there in 1907 and Hampstead station, beneath a steep hill has the deepest platforms on the Tube, at 192 feet below street level. The station also is one of those designed by Leslie Green, with the distinctive oxblood red tiles he liked to use on the outside.

The "Evil One" is an archaic term for the Devil.

Débutantes seem to have typically been 17 or 18.

"Lady" is a courtesy title for the daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls.

Mr. Pickwick refers to the titular character of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers, originally serialised in 19 parts between 1836 and 1837. It might be good for a mailing group.

With telephones going through human-operated exchanges and telegrams being rather expensive, letters were the most secure way of sending romantic messages. Unless the servants got hold of them. Notably, all the correspondence from Queen Victoria to her Indian teacher Abdul Karim was burnt after her death on the orders of Edward VII.

£7,000 would be around £740,000 at today's prices.

Astrakhan are the pelts of fetal or newborn Karakul sheep. So, yeah...

Revolvers were the normal handguns at the time. Self-loading semi-automatics had just begun to enter the scene in large numbers, with the Mauser C96 (aka Han Solo's blaster) available by 1899.

Hampstead Heath is a 790-acre park with views over the city centre from Parliament Hill that are legally protected. The "bloofer lady" scene from Dracula takes place there and a number of movies, such as Notting Hill have filmed there.

The Heath also was - and still is - a popular location for gay men to engage in "cruising" i.e. anonymous hookups, or just hang out. The locals know which bits to avoid at night and these days the police are tolerant unless someone complains, although fines were issued for lockdown breaches. (Public sex is legal if no-one not involved sees it or is likely to, unless in a public toilet)

In the past, it was a very different matter and a Tory MP had to resign his seat in 1992 after being caught on the Heath with another man.

"Court dress" was the regulated outfits worn when attending the British royal court at the time for those not entitled to a uniform. This included wearing breeches and stockings for men, along with a cocked hat. For women this included a white or cream evening gown with lace. It fell somewhat out of use after the Second World War with the 1953 Coronation being the last occasion it was worn in large numbers, However, it is still worn by judges, King's Counsel (senior lawyers) and some Lord Mayors - the royals will wear it sometimes as well. A 1921 guide can be found here: https://archive.org/details/dressinsigniawor00greauoft/page/n113/mode/2up

THE NITTY POPULATION IN THORTON HEATH IS INSANE!?!! Like my mum and I had to encounter a nitty who was trying to guilt trip my mum into giving her some money whilst also cat calling and being an overall weirdo :/ This was on the train station so we stood there for 20 minute with that guy talking and splurging out the bible because the trains there are also shit. 0/10 place sorry for anyone living there.

I’m unfortunately a resident of the gentrified area of West London so I can talk more shit about it than anyone else EXCEPT Southall which I will defend since the shit it gets is way too much than it deserves. The only thing we have is the parks and you could probably fill up a trucks worth of vapes if you have to clean up that place my condolences to any workers. Oh and that one scene in Good Society which made me go ‘bwoah’. The population is mostly old folk and white people who’s racism ranges from constant micro aggression to ‘you want to say a slur so badly’. The hands that I have reserved for my council for the weird stuff they pull is crazy. Also the younger generation think they are bad you are cosplaying south london you are not serious 😭 There is a tiktok somewhere talking about how people tap their oysters on the train we are the only ones who do it 💀

The real question is the london train lines since I already see your tfl line :)

god I had a guy trying to get me to join the pentacostal church in Thornton Heath once I kept walking......

Anon look at me in my (Mig's) eyes. I would die for Southall.

Tapping in... I'm gonna be honest I have bumped train and tram okay prices are high.

My TFL line? The District Line, specifically after Earls Court leaving from Ealing Broadway. Love it so much. I hate the Jubilee Line (so loud) and the Circle Line (once was on a circle line train and watched two guys in soiled hospital gowns dancing around the pole in the tube)

El bus 14

Para llegar desde 25 Finborough Road en Chelsea hasta 14 Taviton Street en Bloomsbury se pueden hacer varias cosas: la primera es caminar 15 minutos (o 10 if you’re able to keep up with a Londoner) hasta Earl’s Court, tomar la Picadilly Line Eastbound hasta Russel Square y caminar por Wolburn Place atravesando Tavitock Square y Gordon Square que son como otros 10 minutos de caminata con una leve inclinación hacia arriba y una alta exigencia de autonomía y self awareness para esquivar turistas, estudiantes, y locales afanados.

Otra forma de llegar es tomar la District Line en Earl’s Court hasta Victoria Station, cambiar a Victoria Line Northbound y bajarse en Euston. Salir de Euston solamente son como 7 minutos, luego hay que pasar la A501 o Euston Road (que tiene 10 carriles), atravesar por Friends House y bajar por Taviton Street hasta la puerta 14.

La mejor forma de llegar es saliendo de 25 Finborough Road hacia el sur, el río, caminar por 3 minutos y tomar el bus 14 que pasa cada 15 minutos por Fulham Road.

El bus en Londres es el hack contra la sensación de wormhole que da el tube. Esa en la que bajas diez pisos, esperas a tu conductor de confianza, te sientas, escuchas la fila de estaciones, subes diez pisos y sales al otro lado de Central London casi sin procesar que atravesaste la ciudad en el mismo tiempo que toma un vuelo Medellín-Bogotá y aún así te parece rápido.

A las 8 de la mañana el tube y el bus 14 se demoran lo mismo. La diferencia es que el 14 te regala un paseo por Central London in a nutshell. Hay que sentarse en el segundo piso.

A la salida de Chelsea, por Fulham Road, se ven restaurantes, tiendas de ropa, de vestidos de novia, de fogones italianos, un cinema, un Gail’s, Maggie’s, y jardines privados que no se ven al caminar. El bus luego entra a la zona de South Kensington. Ahí se ven casas hermosas, cafés, Ben’s Cookies, la estación, el colegio francés en donde se bajan los niños con patinetas y morrales de colores. El jardín del Natural History Museum, el V&A, el Brompton Oratory. Llegamos a Knightsbridge.

Derecho por Brompton Road se empiezan a ver las vitrinas de Reiss, Bimba y Lola, y Furla, hasta la curva en donde empieza a aparecer the iconic Harrods building. Una vez hubo un shooting en donde mataron a un periodista, creo. Algo así dice la placa puesta a un lado. Esa calle da tiempo de reflexionar porque salir de Chelsea siempre es difícil, hay una tienda de souvenirs de Harry Potter, la tienda de Apple en donde fuimos a comprar una punta de lápiz para el iPad de Mari y una tienda de Zara gigante en donde nunca hay nada lindo.

All the way up from Knightsbridge está Hyde Park Corner, el rompoy de la muerte. Casi morimos la primera vez que volvimos en bicicleta desde Bloomsbury. En diciembre se veía desde lejos Winter Wonderland, y en primavera se empiezan a ver locales trotadores que resurgen de las cobijas y las casas con calefacción. Luego sigue Picadilly, pasando por Green Park, la esquina con el almacén que vende tapetes de Disney, The Ritz, los arcades de The Parent Trap, Fortnum and Mason, el Hatchards de cinco pisos, y Picadilly Circus con la estatua de cupido, los músicos callejeros, y los avisos gigantes.

And The West End. Ahí, en el bus 14 ese primer día que me monté, me enamoré de Londres. Con las luces, Chinatown a la derecha y el teatro de Les Miz a la izquierda. La estación de bomberos randomly located. El teatro de The Cursed Child. Tottenham Court Road, Soho Square, el British Museum, las librerías de primeras ediciones de libros leídos, mesitas de té, blue plaques en casi todas las casas. Cafés, casas blancas, parques verdes, olor a lluvia flotante, Montague Street y Russel Square.

Camino desde la estación de bus hacia arriba por los parquecitos previamente mencionados. En verano y otoño llenos de estudiantes tomando el sol. En invierno completamente desolados, habitados solo por los fumadores, o los tomadores de café, o por yours truly, intentando buscar excusas para amar a the sun-deprived London, the rainy London, the grey London, the cold and distant London.

El bus 14 es mi bus favorito del TfL. 14 to Russel Square me hace tener que pellizcarme para recordarme que vivo en Londres, que la ciudad es real y no un set en Disney’s Epcot y que la magia que siento es porque me la paso soñando con escenarios inventados en mi cabeza intentándome convencer de que estoy en some kind of paradise. It very much seems like it. 14 to Putney Heath solo me lleva a la casa.

Pilgrimage to Big Ben

When people think of London, there are probably a few things that immediately jump to mind. Perhaps it’s Buckingham Palace, or maybe the London Eye, The Shard, or of course, Big Ben. On the 29th of September, just a day after I arrived in London, I decided to make my way to the iconic Big Ben. With another classmate of mine, we jumped on the humid and stuffy tube at Earl’s Court Station and made our way over to Westminster Station, towards where this monument is. I expected having to walk around and explore the area in order to find it, but as it turns out, Big Ben towers over the station’s gate. As excited as I was to see the tower, it was a bit underwhelming, probably because nobody else gave it a second look.

The prince was spotted riding the Tube for a second time in 2013, with his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, when they caught the Metropolitan line at Farringdon station to King's Cross, stopping for a photo-op with the Harry Potter attraction Platform 9 ¾. But Prince Charles followed in his mother’s footsteps in 1979 when he opened the Jubilee line, and he even drove the train, too. The Queen’s relatives are certainly not frequent travellers on London’s public transport. The plaque will be permanently mounted at Paddington station. The pair were joined by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, Transport for London's commissioner Andy Byford, the transport secretary Grant Shapps, and the Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild.ĭuring the visit, the monarch officially unveiled a plaque to celebrate the completion of the line. Most recently, The Queen visited London’s newest Tube line, the Elizabeth line which opened this year in honour of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, alongside her youngest son His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex. The Queen visited Paddington Station on Tuesday to mark the completion of London's Crossrail project, ahead of the opening of the new Elizabeth Line railway (Image: Getty Images) The Queen rode the Tube for the third time in 1977 when she opened part of an extension to the Piccadilly Line, and again in 2013 to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground's first opening. However, they were recognised on their trip back which they took during rush hour. It's said that no one recognised the Princesses on the trip to Tottenham Court Road, where they had tea at a nearby shop. The princesses, both dressed in green coats, bought their own tickets and boarded a third class smoking carriage at their local Tube station, St, James’s Park to Charing Cross (now Embankment) where they switched to the Northern line, which took them to Tottenham Court Road. The young princess boarded the Tube with her younger sister princess Margaret, her nanny Marion Crawford, Lady-in-waiting Lady Helen Grantham and the house detective. She took her first Tube ride in 1939, when she was just 13-years-old and before she was the monarch. The Queen had been on the Tube before she made history on the Victoria line.

Earl’s Court Tube Station

“My” tube station for the length of my stay. I recommend the area, I liked it very much, and it was convenient enough to the places I wanted to visit. I have a sentimental attachment to it now.

(Look all the way to the very left and that bit of blue is the previously shown TARDIS; all the way to the right is the convenience store I bought my junk food in all week. Vimto, Wotsits, Topic bars ... much snacking.)

Lockdown is over: Make the most of it in London

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world as everyone knew it. Plunged into lockdowns across the world, people learned to reevaluate their lives, whether in terms of the work they do or the time they spend with their family. One thing that doesn’t seem to have gone away as we start easing our way back towards a sense of normality is travel. Now that the planes are flying again and the hotels near Earls Court have opened up their doors to visitors from around the world, it is time to enjoy all the activities that were not possible during lockdown. 

Public transport

Though public transport never stopped entirely in London owing to the dependence of essential workers on these services, it was recommended that nobody used public transport for recreation or unless 100% necessary. This meant that hotels near Earls Court tube station couldn’t really show off their full potential. That is no longer a problem and if anything, public transport just got better and London just got a lot more accessible with the addition of the Elizabeth Line. So, next time you find yourself exploring the city, make the most of the public transport to celebrate the fact that it is back in action after the global lockdowns.

Go to the theater 

The London theaters were all closed during the lockdowns, which was not just an issue for theater-enthusiasts but more dramatically, the theaters and talented performers who make a night out on the West End possible. Now that the lockdown is over, the theaters are open and they need as much support as they can get to recover from the losses they have made over the past two years.Thankfully, going to the theater as much as possible is hardly a big ask when you see all the fantastic shows that are on at the moment. So, pick your genre, and go fill those theaters!

Eat out

During the lockdowns, restaurants and cafes did their best to keep busy and afloat, from takeaway meals to make-it-at-home food delivery. So much so that when things started to ease up initially, there was an Eat Out To Help Out government initiative to encourage people to get back to restaurants. One of the best parts of London is the food. In fact, it is estimated that there are 18,110 restaurants in London, according to the Office for National Statistics. So, get out there and play your part in helping the industry recover from the dry spell they have managed to endure. For guests staying in hotels near Earls Court tube, your options seem never ending. Especially for guests of Park Grand Kensington accommodation, who won’t want to go much further than the hotel’s The Turmeric Restaurant. 

Pubs and bars 

Like the restaurants and cafes, establishments serving drinks took a real knock during the pandemic. Now that the lockdown is over, it is time to show these places that we care about their struggle and support their future. Park Grand guests always have to hotel bar to depend on, but there are plenty of other options in the Kensington area, with an ambience to match any preference.

The Tube: London’s Greatest Attraction?

I love the Tube. At first it scared me, but at this point, I’ve gotten used to it. I love that no one smiles at me, stops me to talk, or expects me to carry on a conversation. These are all issues I’ve had with people back home, where it’s expected that especially a woman should smile and speak. Everyone is just moving. We all have places to get to, and I completely understand that mentality. There are travelers with suitcases, people headed to or from work or school, people just riding for errands, and more. The other day, we met a group from Florida. But the only reason we talked was probably because we were both tourists. I’ve recently discovered that the one thing that annoys locals about Americans is their tendency to talk on the Tube, which makes sense.

Are there some eccentricities? Of course. This one girl just started singing extremely loudly as soon as she sat down; I’m still not sure of her motives, as she seemed bent on getting the attention of the boy seated across from her. But I love that people are so open and unique, so expressive, so human. The only thing I don’t love is how warm and crowded it can be, but it moves so quickly that this inconvenience seems minor. I also appreciate the fact that no one really stares. Perhaps this is due to the rules? We saw a sign claiming that staring could be considered harassment; if only that were true in the states.

In relation to our reading of Neverwhere, we’ve seen various places that are mentioned in the book: St. Pancras, Earl’s Court, Islington, and more. And we see character types. There is one girl, possibly displaced from her home, who sits at the foot of the stairs in one station between the two track entrances; she definitely reminds me of someone who would be from the Underside in Neverwhere. And then there are the people who walk through the trains themselves, asking for food or spare change. This is interesting, because it seems so normal to those who ride the train. There are also various performers, even one we saw on the street and then later that same evening in the Tube tunnel. The Tube is alive, with smells, sounds, and certainly sights. And each station has its own quirks. Some are nicer than others. At one point, someone said, “We’re home,” when we reached Angel, and we’ve only been here less than a week, but there is something special about this particular station.

Guide to Royalty, the Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is undoubted one of the most iconic places in London. Located in Westminster, the financial and political center of the metropolis, the palace serves as a home to the present-day monarch and her kin.

You can also read: Harry Potter Tour of Warner Bros. Studio with Transport from London

The reason behind its glorified fame is that it is the official residence of the Queen of England. If looking for the affordable stay near Buckingham Palace that would be hard to get as it is the prime location but alternatively you can get the budget hotels in Kensington which is in Central London and just few tube stations away from the Palace.

Apart from that, here are some reasons you should visit this grand place;

The Palace’s magnificent state rooms are open to the public when the Queen is not in residence, so you get a little bit worthy view of The Majesty's humble abode.

Witness the ‘Changing of the Guard,’ a ceremony where the Queen’s guard switches with another infantry battalion. An Instagramable moment for sure!

The views of the splendid grandeur of the staterooms, of course, come at a cost. So, to make this trip light on your pockets, we have accumulated a list of a few Tube stations to the Royal Residency.

1.    St. James Park Station

St. James Park Station is 0.4mi away from Buckingham Palace. It is an underground station in Westminster City, Central London. While walking to your destination, you will spot the stunning Westminster Chapel, a 160-year-old evangelical church. Also, on the way comes Westminster Abbey, World Heritage Site.

 Pros:

Public toilets

Marts

ATMS

Cons

You have to walk on two different streets, that's an additional 8 minutes to your journey to the palace.

Not wheelchair accessible

No escalators or lifts

2.    Green Park Station

One of the closest tube stations to the Royal residency is Green Station Park, which means it is just 6 minute's walk away!

Located on the Piccadilly, Jubilee, and Victoria Lines, this tube station has an easy-going vibe. The walk to the Majesty's Residency is short and pleasant, especially on sunny days. Whatever tube Station you stop at, the Buckingham Palace is way more easily accessible from Green Park Station. If you stay at Park Grand Hotel Kensington , the popular hotel amongst the Londoners for its value for money traits then, you need to take the tube from Earl’s Court Station.  

Pros:

Public toilets

Wi-Fi

Lifts and escalators

ATMs

Ticket halls

3.    Hyde Park Corner Station

0.6mi away from Buckingham Palace is the Hyde Park Corner Station. Although it is a long 13-minute walk to the palace from the station, but trust me, the walk ain’t boring.

Along the way, you will spot many London aesthetics that make super gorgeous camera clicks! One of the main things you will see is the beautiful Wellington Arch, a top-notch London landmark, a historical masterpiece.

Take exit 2 from Hyde Park Corner Station to Buckingham Palace and Green Park and experience the true essence of London in a 13-min walk.

Pros:

Wi-Fi

Public Toilets

4.    Victoria Station

A tube station that screams metropolis at the top of its lungs! Victoria Station is a must-visit for a tourist in London. Being just 0.5mi away from Buckingham Palace, i.e., 9 minutes walk – this tube station is ideal. Take the first left from the exit and a right on the A3214. You'll be walking through 2 busy roads and many souvenir shops, including an art gallery too. The walk to your destination is fairly interesting, so you will enjoy it.

Pros:

Wi-Fi

Public Toilets

Supermarts

Shopping center

Information desk
