South Kensington history


South Kensington History photo

Brompton was purchased by the commissioners of the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park to create a home for institutions dedicated to the arts and sciences. It was sealed by the arrival of the Metropolitan and District Railways at Brompton, but for public relations reasons, it was named South Kensington in 1868. Adjacent landowners began to develop the land in the 1860s as a result of the transport hub and the general urbanisation boom.

Terrorism in Princes Gate

British SAS stormed the Iranian embassy in South Kensington, London, in 1980. Six-day siege followed by six-hour siege during which a hostage was killed. One surviving gunman was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his part in the offences.
