Kensington and Chelsea

First of all, Hyde Park. It's one of the largest parks in central London and one of the Royal Park of London. This park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations or some famous rock concerts : Queen (1976), Red Hot Chili Peepers (2004) or the Foo Fighters.

While you are walking along the Park, you can see the Round Pond; a part of Kensington Garden; the Serpentine Gallery (it is an art gallery which takes its name to the river called Serpentine); the Diana Fountain (a memorial to Diana the beloved princess of Wales); the Speakers' Corner (which is a place where everybody can speak).

On the other side of the road, the Royal Albert Hall, is located, which received more than 350 performances including classical concert, rock and pop, ballets and opera, tennis, awards ceremony, school and community events, charity performances : Pink Floyd (1969) ; The Corrs (1998) ; The Killers (2009)...

Portobello Road is a street in the Nothing Hill district known for its market (every Saturdays) and for its antique stores ! Every August, since 1996, the Portobello Film Festival has been held in locations around Portobello Road (documentaries, music films and animation...)
