Neighbourhood profile
Abingdon
Kensington and Chelsea, London
Abingdon sits between High Street Kensington and the Holland Road, a tightly built central ward of Georgian terraces, garden squares and mews courts. The whole ward falls within the Edwardes Square, Scarsdale and Abingdon Conservation Area, and heritage density is very high: 22 listed buildings include the Grade II* Church of St Sarkis, an Armenian Apostolic church built by Calouste Gulbenkian in 1922-23, plus the Grade II Earls Terrace and the Grade II Pembroke Studios. Connectivity is very strong with High Street Kensington on the District and Circle lines. The drawbacks are familiar for this slice of Kensington: green space is effectively zero within the ward (residents use Holland Park and Kensington Gardens nearby), the market score is low reflecting a frozen high-end sales market, and the planning score is near-zero — there is almost no new-build happening here.
