My best friend from college moved to London (Hampstead) in 1972, so our trips there, after our previous one, we were more like natives, than tourists, because my friend took us to all kinds of places that tourists don't usually go to; though, truth to tell, we also went to quite a few touristy places as well, for the progeny.
Kensington is a beautiful area and I've been there many time. Love the museums and the Royal Albert Hall! Lucky you!
Liiving in a foreign country was a wonderfully mind expanding experience!
