Kensington Row

Kensington Row is a prestigious luxury residential development in West Kensington (London W14), delivered by St Edward, a joint venture of the Berkeley Group. Positioned beside Warwick Road and just south of Kensington High Street, the scheme forms part of a wider £2 billion regeneration masterplan, transforming underused land into a vibrant and desirable neighbourhood.
This landmark project exemplifies the best of contemporary London residential architecture, combining elegant façades with premium materials to deliver high-quality apartments in one of the capital’s most sought-after postcodes.
