About the area
Kensington in context
Ask anyone in W8 what marks Kensington out and Kensington Palace comes up first. The high street, palace gardens and the quiet garden squares of Kensington proper. Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy.
What our teams actually walk into: stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks with porters and mews cottages. With 82.9% of Kensington and Chelsea stock being flats and 39.6% of households privately renting, the W8 workload splits between recurring domestic visits and tenancy turnarounds on short notice.
Access is the other half of the job. Mansion blocks with cage lifts and porter sign-in; Kensington High Street loading windows are short. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. We check the exact address against Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's controlled parking zone before the booking is confirmed, so nobody arrives to a bay they cannot use — and the cost of doing that is already inside the quoted price.
Where Kensington sits in our coverage
Kensington sits inside the coverage published on our cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea page, which sits under cleaning across London. The same crew works the adjoining postcodes too — cleaning in Earl's Court SW5 (0.7 miles), cleaning in South Kensington SW7 (0.8 miles), cleaning in Bayswater W2 (1.0 miles), cleaning in Notting Hill W11 (1.2 miles) and cleaning in Holland Park W11 (1.2 miles). If your address sits on the boundary, book the closest page — the price and the crew are the same. For every trade we run at this postcode, see all services in Kensington.
