Kensington London is
well-served by public transport and is located
in the central zone of the public transport
network; three London Underground lines serve
the district via stations at High St Kensington,
Gloucester Road and South Kensington. All three
are served by the Circle Line which connects
them to London's railway terminals. The District
Line also serves all three stations, albeit on
different branches; it links the latter two to
Westminster and the City. The Piccadilly Line
also links South Kensington and Gloucester Road
to the West End in about 10 minutes, and in the
other direction to Heathrow Airport in about 40
minutes.
A number of local bus services link Kensington into the surrounding districts, and key bus hubs are Kensington High Street and South Kensington station. These bus services are scheduled to be improved in frequency and spread with the western extension of the London congestion charge area, which requires vehicles driving into or around Kensington to pay a daily fee of £8.
