About Earls Court
Earls Court is a well-connected West London neighbourhood located between Kensington, Chelsea, West Brompton, Fulham and South Kensington. It has long been known for its transport links, hotels, mansion blocks, garden squares and international character. Although the famous Earls Court Exhibition Centre has been demolished, the area remains an important gateway between central London and the western boroughs. Earls Court Road is the main local artery, offering restaurants, pubs, shops, hotels, cafés and services. The neighbourhood has a practical and cosmopolitan feel, with a mix of long-term residents, students, visitors, professionals and international communities. Its architecture includes handsome Victorian terraces, mansion blocks, converted flats and modern developments. Earls Court Underground station is one of the area’s biggest strengths, served by the District and Piccadilly lines. This provides direct access to Heathrow, the West End, South Kensington, Hammersmith and central London, making it popular with travellers and commuters. For visitors, Earls Court is a convenient base for museums, Kensington, Chelsea and West London. It may not have the grandeur of Knightsbridge or the village feel of Notting Hill, but it is practical, central, well connected and full of local character.
