London- Churchill Arms pub near Kensington

It’s always full, probably 50% tourists. Lots of people eating in the Thai Restaurant. Is the area nice for strolling? People with Ferraris wouldn’t live there if it wasn’t.

Any particular streets for a nice evening stroll in that area? How is walking in Hyde Park after dark?

That whole area is fine. You shouldn’t have any trouble. I haven’t been to any section of London that I felt uncomfortable in. Now granted, I mostly walk in more touristed areas, but even when I go outside this, I feet safe, including when I was walking at night.

I live in LA and compare the Kensington neighborhood to Beverly Hills … just look at the vehicles parked on driveways and the street.

Haven’t been to the Churchill Arms in decades. Far too touristy for my liking.

Kensington High Street is fine for walking. Busy.

Hyde Park is well lit after dark. Lots of dog walkers and runners. If I’m staying at 63 Bayswater I’ll walk through it. Never a worry.

In the summer they decorate the outside with a few flowers

Yes, we ate at the Churchill Arms twice. We were staying down the street for a week.
The food was very good and we were impressed by a pub serving that level of food. Fun atmosphere.
The neighborhood is upscale and safe for walking at night.
