Location: Kensington Area

Located in Kensington, Best Western Burns Hotel Kensington is near the Museums of South Kensington. Kensington High Street, Knightsbridge, and Notting Hill are nearby. The Westfield Shopping Center at White City is also within reach. Lords (test cricket) and Wimbledon (tennis) are accessible in the summer. Coffee houses, restaurants, and major department stores like Harrods are within a 15-minute walk. The Earls Court Tube station is a five-minute walk.

Free WiFi is available. The on-site bar is named after British actress Dame Ellen Terry, who lived in the building during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The hotel is near the West End and City, with direct links to Heathrow Airport at Earl's Court Underground Station.

“The location, just around the corner from Earl's Court tube, simplifies getting around; furthermore, the leafy garden square setting and Grade II listing add genuine charm. Stepping inside, I appreciate the spotlessly clean rooms and the fresh scent throughout the property, plus that bar named after Dame Ellen Terry is a nice touch. This is a solid choice, in my opinion, for those wanting easy access to London's attractions.”
