The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, recognized for its royal status, is a notable area within central London. It was formed in 1965 and inherited its royal designation from the former Royal Borough of Kensington, established in 1901 as a mark of respect to Queen Victoria, born in Kensington Palace. This borough is one of the most densely populated areas in the UK and includes affluent neighborhoods like Notting Hill, Kensington, and Chelsea. It's also home to significant cultural institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, and numerous embassies, reflecting its importance and heritage.
