Backs of Places: Kensington

This is a small mews by South Kensington station. Mews were back lanes used to access the rear of posher buildings and for stables and staff living. Typically stables and or a coachhouse would open onto a cobbled yard or alley and people who worked with the horses would live above. They are now very desirable homes. In London it is always fun to explore small alleys where you may find older houses, obscure shops or interesting street art.
