The character of Kensington and Chelsea
Chelsea's mews streets are narrow and often cobbled, with residents' parking controlled tightly and rarely a spare space at the kerb. South Kensington's museum quarter around Exhibition Road pedestrianises for events, and cars hold on the surrounding streets rather than directly outside. Notting Hill's Portobello Road closes to vehicles on market days, and Holland Park's private roads require prior arrangement to enter at all.
- Chelsea's mews streets are narrow and tightly parked; the car holds on the nearest through-road.
- Portobello Road closes to traffic for the Saturday market and the August carnival.
- Holland Park's private roads require arrangement in advance to enter.
- ULEZ covers the whole borough and is accounted for in the quotation.
