Area summary
SW7 spans Westminster and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and covers South Kensington (the principal area, including the "Albertopolis" museum quarter and the Royal Albert Hall), parts of Knightsbridge and Brompton.

Housing is dominated by stucco-fronted Italianate terraced and mansion-block stock built between 1855 and 1880 on the Henry Cole / Prince Albert masterplan.
