About

Brompton sits within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, centred on Old Brompton Road and Brompton Road. The area mixes Victorian terraces, narrow mews and small commercial frontages: bookshops, antique dealers and independent food shops line the principal streets. The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, commonly called the Brompton Oratory, marks a short stretch of Brompton Road with its stone façade and dome. Behind the main thoroughfares, residential squares and service streets reflect Victorian street patterns and a long history of house conversions into flats and townhouses.

Brompton Cemetery occupies a large rectangular plot with a formal central avenue and raised colonnades and contains catacombs beneath the terrace levels; it was laid out in the 1830s as one of London’s major private cemeteries. The cemetery’s plane trees and wide paths provide a contrasting open space to the surrounding streets. Local traders on Old Brompton Road supply everyday needs, while small galleries and studios occupy former workshops, preserving traces of the area’s 19th-century expansion around the Fulham Road axis.
