About Earls Court Between Kensington and Chelsea lies a small but well-known area. Gaining its name from the court-house of two of the Earls who once owned the land in the area. The Earls of Holland and Warwick. Once famous for its Australian and New Zealand inhabitants taking advantage of cheap flats and bedsits hence the nickname “Kangaroo Valley”, it is now more commonly known for Earl’s Court Exhibition Hall. The now, general atmosphere of the Earl’s Court district is lively, cosmopolitan and young. An excellent place for anyone looking for various hotels types, from budget to the Twenty Nevern Square Luxury Hip hotel.
