Why South Kensington

What to know before you go

The Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A sit side by side, with Hyde Park and Harrods a walk away - which is why South Kensington is the family base for London. The Cromwell Road runs straight in from Heathrow.

The museums are free; the dinosaur gallery and the Science Museum's Wonderlab are busiest 11am to 2pm in school holidays.

Tip 2

Many South Ken hotels are converted terraces with steps - tell us if you need help with cases and the driver carries them up.

Tip 3

For an early Heathrow flight the A4 is clear before 6am; 30 to 40 minutes door to terminal.
