• Rooftop garden with magnificent views
• Baden-Powell exhibition and memorabilia

South Kensington

Kensington is an affluent area of West London. It lies in travelcard zone one, and enjoys fast transport links to the heart of London.

There is much to attract the hasher to this area. Green areas within easy reach include Kensington Gardens (shown), Holland Park, and the extensive Hyde Park. At street level the historic and affluent nature of the area has resulted in an abundance of rich architecture, proud statues, and hidden mementos to the yellowing pages of history.

Of course we will not be restricting the fun just to the Kensington area. We can give you a hashers eye view of everything that makes London a top class hashing location.
