Sitting pretty in the Royal London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, Brompton remains perhaps the last neighbourhood to offer affordable homes in the West of the City, and is well known for its artistic and creative residents. Charles Dickens wrote of Brompton that 'at one time almost exclusively the artist quarter and is still largely frequented by the votaries of the brush and chisel', and this is still largely true today. Renting a home in Brompton allows you to live surrounded by the glitz and glamour of affluent West London neighbourhoods, but without the high price tags you might expect. Indeed, Brompton has been home to the likes of bestselling author Agatha Christie, history-making activist William Wilberforce and ground-breaking scientist Rosalind Franklin.

Flats & Apartments to Rent in Brompton

Brompton is often forgotten among its well-known neighbours of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea, so renting a flat in SW3 and SW5 is more affordable than you may expect. The homes for rent in the area are mainly older period-style houses converted into flats and apartments.

Houses to Rent in Brompton

Brompton’s housing rentals are a little more conservative size-wise from the outside, but still offer plenty of space - and plenty of it compared to elsewhere in the capital! You won’t find new builds here, but instead sturdy and classically-built period homes looking for new residents.

Brompton Amenities & Leisure

Brompton is fantastically located between some of the capital’s most affluent areas, and so benefits from a huge variety of local amenities and leisure facilities right on its doorstep. London’s Natural History Museum makes for an educational afternoon of roaming in the quiet season, and Brompton Square is an idyllic local green space, perfect for sitting outside with a good book on a sunny afternoon. Brompton is often underestimated and frequently forgotten, but rents here are reasonable, amenities are ample and the community is tight-knit.
