Kensington Church Street, Kensington

Kensington Church Street, Kensington — The antiques spine of the borough, and the street most people picture when they picture Kensington. Living here means shopfronts below and flats above, which suits a certain buyer very well and no family at all. The value is in the side streets that hang off it — Holland Street, Gordon Place, Peel Street — where the scale drops to two and three storeys and the noise disappears within twenty metres.

The registered record for Kensington Church Street runs to 13 sales, and the middle of that range is £1.50m. Prices have ranged from £335,000 to £2.90m, so an asking price only makes sense once you have seen the specific floor, aspect and state of repair. 62% of what sold was flats, and 10 of the last 13 were leasehold — worth checking the term before you offer. The most recent registered sale went through on 29 Jan 2026.
