A
predominately residential area located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea, West Brompton (post code SW10) is as affluent neighbourhood just like
its nearby areas of West Kensington, Earl's Court, Chelsea and Fulham. Though
not as popular like its surrounding neighbourhood, the area nonetheless has its
own charm which has made it a preferred destination among tourists seeking
holiday apartments to stay when in
London.
West
Brompton Attractions
A
relatively quite area, West Brompton is largely known for having one of the
highest concentrations of restaurants in entire London. This acts as a big boon
for guests who don’t like to cook in their holiday homes after a hard day’s
work. Furthermore, the area also prides itself as having some of London’s
lesser known attractions like the mid 19th century Brompton Cemetery which its
grand dome chapel is reminiscent of the St. Paul’s basilica in Rome and forms a
part of the Magnificent Seven - the term applied to the seven large cemeteries
in London. The Royal British Society of Sculptors is also worth visiting
as is the Brompton Library from where you can rent out a book and read it in
the close confines of your apartment. In addition to these, one can also pay a
visit to Carlyle House, the Chelsea FC Stadium, the Rock archive Gallery,
Finborough Theatre and Chelsea Old Church almost others.
