[quote=Anonymous]South Kensington is known to be a family friendly area. I lived a few blocks away, closer to royal albert hall and the park, and I went to south ken all the time with my kids for the museums, restaurants, swim lessons, etc. As other PP’s have said, it’s a good hub for the tube and close to several museums popular with kids (don’t sleep on the V&A!) and has easy access to the park. Paddington is close to fun things, but it’s not that fun itself, if that makes sense. And paddington is convenient for LHR, but it’s actually not that convenient for the rest of central London, because it’s on the Elizabeth line, which can take you to Tottenham court rd, but you will want to walk to edgeware rd or bayswater to get on the circle/district line. In south ken, you would be walking past lots of shops and restaurants, and in paddington, it’s mostly residential. Although I think the kids would like the canals, which are close by. [/quote]
