Victoria Road is a wide street running south from Kensington Gardens, lined with grand white stucco townhouses dating from the 1840s. Its celebrated former residents include the ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, the poet Henry Newbolt, and the famous Mitford family.

From here, Gloucester Road and Kensington High Street are both close, offering a mix of restaurants, shops and underground stations. In addition, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are a short a walk away, while the world-class cultural institutions of South Kensington are also nearby. Finally, the area is well supplied with schools for all ages.
