The Kensington Book - Softcover

One of the old London villages, its affluence is partly the result of William 111's decision to have his main home here - now Kensington Palace. The profits from the Great Exhibition of 1851 helped to establish the museum quarter. Developers built elaborate terraces in the immediate vicinity, and the area has remained upmarket since, In this book, in an A-Z softback format, the former local history librarian of Kensington highlights those buildings, events and people that have made this area so attractive and interesting.
