South Kensington Tube Station

Really well marked signs if heading to the Museums! Was impressed as didn’t have to switch on the expensive roaming wifi and found my way to the V&A based on the signs alone.
Also not that many stairs made it easy for my mum to climb up.

Dirty, dingy, cramped, rubbish turnstiles, poor ventilation (and it’s above ground), lot of smoke & mirrors with the tunnels leading off to attractions in the area which are not exactly spot on – trying to detract from the fact that this station is just bad. Who the hell was the architect?! Try again.

I love this station. Why you ask? Because of the tunnels.
This historic station is accessible by three line: The District, The Circle and The Picadilly. Easy to get to from any of them, trains run (usually) smoothly and it’s pretty clean.
However it’s the tunnels that set this baby apart. Walk through them and wind up right in front of the V&A or science Museum or Natural History Museum (or anything near those.) It’s a joy to not have to walk through the cold or the rain to go to those spots.
Keep doing what you’re doing South Ken. You are killing it.

Kensington Station ist eine U-​Bahn-​Station mitten im Stadtteil Kensington — soweit, so gut. Beeindruckend fand ich die Tatsache, daß die Fahrgäste in Lifts zur Oberfläche gebracht werden — sowas hatte ich noch nie zuvor gesehen.

Quite pretty in places and an historic station that is well served by three lines. However it’s also got lots of steps and no lifts so dreadful for anyone with mobility problems.
Handy for the museums and other attractions in and around South Ken/​Chelsea.

Une drôle de station toute herbeuse et toute fleurie ! Un petit air de comme à la campagne

I rather like South Ken station. Primarily for its swell location to my church, but not only that but also because, it is wonderfully placed near possibly my favourite museum in London — The V&A. As a side not if you haven’t been you must go, it’s such a treat.

Exiting at South Kensington you will also find the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, both equally entertaining and educational and well worth a visit, however, word to the wise, avoid half term!

There is a nifty little underpass which take you below street level and deposits you at your chosen museum or given destination. It also gives details of how to get to the Royal Albert Hall. Which again is a wonderful British institution that is not to be be missed.

Having had my cousin visiting from Malaysia in the last few weeks has turned me into a bit of a tourist in my own city. This is no bad thing as you do get to explore pretty exciting places which you had poo pooed as tourist trap!
South Kensington station is rammed in the summer as visitors flock to London’s museum row — the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum are all a short walk away. It’s also the nearest Tube station for the Albert Hall
Served by the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines, the station has to cope with large numbers at times which it does fairly well though the Circle line is very vulnerable to problems these days since it stopped being a circle!
There are some interesting eating options near the station, ranging from Japanese fast food to a Scandinavian restaurant and there are cold treats like Oddono’s gelato!

Best known for its proximity to the museums of Kensington, this station is proximate to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and of course the Victoria and Albert Museum. Talk like a local and refer to it a as“South Ken” when you’re looking for the Piccadilly or Circle and District lines.
Even though it’s been modernized since it was opened in 1868, the current arcade station entrance dates to 1907. It is a listed structure.
Circle and District lines are open to the air though covered. The deep level Piccadilly line can be accessed from there or from the ticket hall.
This station does have some escalators but is not step-​free access. Because of the museums, expect to see a large number of tourists and suitcases. Like all stations on the Circle, it’s in Travelcard zone 1.

This station was one of the busiest station on the network. There were three big museums and Imperial college nearby, also many hotels around. You could use District line, Circle line and Picadially line here. There were also many buses just outside the station. If you living to the west of the station. Gloucester road station would be a better choices for normal use.

South Kensington tube station is on the picaddily, district and circle lines. It has underground tunnel access to museums and amenities, such as royal albert hall and imperial college london. There are a great range of attractions and shops in this area. This place is usually quite busy, the picaddilly line is usually faster and has less delays than the district line. The circle line is the slowest out of the three, since the trains are shared with the district line and don’t come often.

Super crowded with tourist, especially in the summer, making it sometimes very difficult to simply get out of the station or onto a train.
I do like the above ground, open air Circle and District Line platforms though. And, really, it’s conveniently located near a number of very good restaurants and popular attractions.
