What's in a name?
All apartment blocks in Hyde Park are named after legendary London boroughs. Kensington is without a doubt one of the poshest boroughs in this vibrant metropolis. Stately buildings and luxury British cars such as Bentleys, Jaguars and Land Rovers dominate the street scene. The borough has two parks: Kensington Gardens — one of no fewer than eight royal parks in the city — and Holland Park. This park has peacocks roaming around, a beautiful orangery where some of the plants spend the winter, tennis courts and a cricket field. It doesn't get much more British than that.
