DESCRIPTION: My apartment is situated near Kensington High Street, Holland Park and Hyde Park in Central London. This is a prime residential part of the metropolis which still has a "village" feel - as much as you can say that about any capital city! There are small shops and a major supermarket within five minutes walk; the latter open 24 hours a day. Not much further is the major shopping area of Kensington High Street where there are all the usual multiple stores and Eerope;s first Whole Foods store, which is enormousted. Within ten minutes walk is Kensington Church Street with a wealth of antique shops and a major cinema complex. Hyde Park is the Central Park of London. A glorious area of trees, flowers, lakes, statuary, wild life, cafes and outdoor activity: roller-blading, walking, bicycling, boating, fishing, sunbathing and picnics. You can walk from my home entirely through parks to Oxford Street, Piccadilly, Buckingham Palace, Westminster and many more famous places.
There is a plethora of public transport nearby. Buses run to all over London every few minutes the nearest subway stations are High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road, both about 8 minutes walk. London Heathrow airport is 60 minutes by subway from Gloucester Road (Piccadilly Line) or 45 minutes by cab (fare about US$50, plus tip). London Gatewick Airport is 30 minutes by train from London's main line Victoria Station, which is 15 minutes by taxi from my apartment. The train goes right in to the South Terminal and is a better bet than the 1-1/2-2 hour car journey.
