<p>South Kensington is part of the Royal Borough of [[Kensington]] & [[Chelsea]], so it is very clean and home to a large number of wealthy people. However, it is also immensely popular with [[tourists]] and those [[new to London]], since there are many hotels and B&Bs, and there is quick access to central London from the [[South Kensington station \| tube station]] and via [[buses]].</p> <p>South Kensington is a rather undefined area bounded loosely by [[Brompton]] to the east, [[Chelsea]] to the south, [[Earl's Court]] to the west and [[High Street Kensington]] and [[Hyde Park]] (or more accurately, [[Kensington Gardens]] to the north.</p> <p>The focal point is at [[South Kensington station]] where there are a large number of shops, restaurants and cafes, with particular usefulness for tourists. There is also a smaller centre at [[Gloucester Road]].</p> <p>The main routes through South Kensingon are the [[A4]] Cromwell Road and the [[Old Brompton Road]] east-to-west. [[Fulham Road]] probably counts too although whether it's in South Ken or Chelsea is debatable.</p> <p>There aren't many supermarkets in South Kensington. [[Harts the Grocer]] appears in South Kensington and Gloucester Road but is comparatively expensive; for larger scale shopping you need <a href="http://www.sainsburys.co.uk">Sainsburys</a> on the Cromwell Road, a few hundred metres west from [[Gloucester Road]], where there is a more expensive but higher quality <a href="http://www.waitrose.com">Waitrose</a>.</p> ==== [[Tube]] ==== <p>Travel into or out of London is easy with the [[Circle Line \| Circle]], [[District Line \| District]] and [[Piccadilly Line \| Piccadilly]] lines serving South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations. [[Heathrow Airport \| Heathrow]] is about an hour away direct on the Piccadilly line, and [[Piccadilly Circus]] is only about 15 minutes away. [[King's Cross]] is about 30 minutes.</p> ==== [[Buses]] ==== <ul> <li><b>Route 14</b> is the main route running to [[Tottenham Court Road]] via [[Shaftesbury Avenue]], [[Piccadilly Circus]], [[Hyde Park Corner]] and [[Knightsbridge]]. It is an excellent way to get into the West End especially now thanks to the [[congestion charge]]. It also heads outwards to Fulham and Putney.</li> <li><b>Route 414</b> mirrors Route 14 to [[Hyde Park Corner]] and then runs up [[Park Lane]] to [[Marble Arch]] and [[Edgware Road]].</li> <li><b>Route 74</b> does the same but at [[Marble Arch]] it runs to [[Baker Street]] instead. It provides an easy way of getting to the [[London Zoo]] in [[Regent's Park]] with a simple change to Route 274 at any stop along [[Gloucester Place]].</li> <li><b>Route 49</b> runs to [[Shepherd's Bush]], [[Olympia]] and [[High Street Kensington]] in the north and [[Chelsea]], [[Battersea Park]] and [[Clapham Junction]] in the south.</li> <li><b>Route 70</b> runs to the [[Royal Albert Hall]] and then to [[High Street Kensington]], continuing to [[Notting Hill Gate]], [[Portobello Road]] and [[Ladbroke Grove]].</li> <li><b>Route C1</b> is a smaller minibus route serving local needs, serving [[Old Brompton Road]] and [[Earl's Court]] to the west and [[Knightsbridge]], [[Sloane Square]] and [[Victoria]] to the east.</li> <li><b>Route 345</b> runs to [[Clapham Junction]] and then serves various destinations in [[South London]].</li> <li>Last but not least, <b>Route 360</b> runs from the [[Royal Albert Hall]] and South Kensington to [[Pimlico]] (including the [[Tate Britain]]), [[Vauxhall]], running to the [[Elephant & Castle]].</li> </ul>	Could someone fill this out a bit?
