Drinks & Nightlife
Brilliant local gastro pub. A proper English local, but with great quality food and good ales on tap. I highly recommend the bavette steak and a pint of Doombar!

Probably my favourite pub in London. Tiny, eclectic mix of people, perfect pint of Guiness and outstanding gastro pub grub... high recommend the fish stew or crab linguine. Look out for David Beckham!

Food Scene
Actually a smart-ish restaurant but with the feel of a local, cosy pub. Go for a drink, an outstanding stone baked pizza, or some rather posh sharing plates. Highly recommend.

Shopping
Not really my 'bag' but an amazing shopping centre and I think the largest in Europe. Everything you could ever dream of needing under one roof. Also great cinema.

Everything Else
One of our two local tube/overground stations. Not as useful as Shepherds Bush but can be useful for some connections. Do check departure times in advance though as trains are NOT frequent here.

Kensington Olympia London Underground and London Overground Station

This map is only locating the overground, but there is also underground station (Central Line) just here too. Amazing transport links to pretty much anywhere you need to go.
