Imperial College London

The Royal Albert Hall
Concerts, shows and the summer Proms season at the Royal Albert Hall keep evening demand high around Kensington Gore.

South Kensington short let FAQs
Do you manage Airbnb homes in South Kensington?
Yes. South Kensington is one of the West and South-West London areas we cover, and one team manages the whole short let for you, from listing and pricing to guests, cleaning and maintenance.
How much does short let management in South Kensington cost?
Our fee is 16% + VAT, calculated only on booking revenue. There are no upfront fees and no hidden charges.
Do flats near the museums perform well?
Yes. Flats within walking distance of Exhibition Road suit families and visitors, while larger apartments suit academics and longer university-related stays.
Is there demand from Imperial College visitors?
There is. Academic visits, conferences, open days and graduations bring guests through the year, and many want somewhere more homely than a hotel.
Do I need permission from my freeholder or mortgage lender?
Often, yes. Many leases and mortgages set conditions on short letting, so it's worth checking yours before your home goes live.
How quickly can my South Kensington home be listed?
It depends on how ready your home is. Once your home is set up, photographed and priced, we list it across the booking platforms we use.
