                                          • Stay slightly off the main roads around Gloucester Road or Cromwell Road. You’ll get a quiet night's sleep yet still be within easy walking distance to tube stations and attractions.
                                          • Many hotels offer discounted tickets or early entrance to local museums and galleries. Make sure to ask reception for insider perks.
                                          • Look for local markets like the South Kensington Farmers’ Market, on Bute Street, for tasty street snacks and gourmet treats.
                                          • Evening strolls around Thurloe Square or Onslow Gardens reveal the quieter, elegant side of South Kensington, often overlooked by visitors.
