23. South Kensington


Friday 27th December 12.15pm

Or 'South Ken' as I heard someone heading to the Albert Hall refer to it as, in a way that was best described as 'annoying'. This isn't a part of London I go to very often as it's simultaneously too posh (all those fancy shops) and too dull (all those fancy shops, all those museums). And it's also quite poorly served by the Tube.

It's actually quite a small station and seems remarkably unchanged since it was built, which is surprising considering how busy it is now. The best thing about it is the long subway that goes from it to the museums, which stops you getting wet and is decorated in the same tiles as the Tube station.
