South Kensington property market

South Kensington sits in west London, mostly in Kensington and Chelsea, about 3 miles from the centre.

The median asking price across the 1,535 homes for sale in South Kensington is £1,950,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £992,500 and £3,500,000. That is 245% above London. Homes that actually sold in South Kensington went for a median £1,410,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Falling. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in South Kensington is down 8% over the last 10 years and down 9% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
