Kelso Place is a peaceful residential mews-style street tucked away off Stanford Road, just south of Kensington High Street and within easy walking distance of Kensington Gardens. Unusually, Kelso Place is arranged across four connected sections, offering a varied streetscape that includes attractive Victorian houses, modern townhouses and a charming cul-de-sac lined with traditional mews-style cottages. This unique mix of architecture gives the street a distinctive character within one of Kensington’s most desirable residential locations.

Although Kelso Place was not originally developed as a working mews and has no recorded equestrian history, it has long been recognised for its mews-style appearance and tranquil setting. The street, first recorded in 1853, lies within the sought-after De Vere Conservation Area and has witnessed an eventful history, including significant bomb damage during the Second World War when a high explosive bomb struck the mews between 1940 and 1941. Today, the area has been carefully restored and residents can enjoy excellent access to the boutiques, cafés and restaurants of Kensington High Street, together with the transport links of nearby Gloucester Road. The expansive green spaces of Kensington Gardens are just a short stroll away, making Kelso Place an appealing address for those seeking a quiet residential setting with all the amenities of central Kensington close at hand.
