More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-roof minivan at a Kensington meeting point and the city slides past like a record sleeve: Chelsea’s bold shopfronts, Notting Hill’s painted terraces, the tight lanes of Soho where amplifiers once hummed all night. The guide cues anecdotes — who lived where, which club launched a career — and the bus becomes a moving stage, pausing for photos and a short walk at the famous zebra crossing where the Beatles posed.
