What you need to know about West Kensington

West Kensington

West Kensington is one of the districts within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and located south of Hammersmith and west of Earl’s Court and West Brompton, roughly 5.5 km west of Charing Cross. Like the other districts surrounding it, West Kensington is a very densely populated residential neighbourhood and occupied by Victorian terraced houses that have been subdivided into flats. The district’s two most well-known landmarks are the Queen’s Club near its centre and the Olympia Exhibition Centre farther north, while the better part of its commercial amenities are concentrated around the Hammersmith and Fulham Broadways. The rest of West Kensington is also dotted with numerous bars, pubs, and restaurants and home to a good selection of hotels. The district is well-served by a wide range of transport options, including three London Underground stations on the District line (West Kensington, Barons Court, and Hammersmith), and the Kensington (Olympia) station, which is also served by London Overground trains.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in West Kensington?

Households and businesses in West Kensington are able to keep their properties and bins clean and clear using a wide range of waste disposal options, with paid-for services also seeing a good amount of use either alongside or as alternatives to those offered by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The additional options are available in a variety of different forms as well and able to cater to a wide range of needs and budgets. The most affordable are typically those that largely just mirror the regular kerbside collections but with more flexible scheduling and volume options, while the most costly are the end-to-end solutions that include the bulk of the labour involved, like labour assisted waste clearances of furniture for example.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in West Kensington

Despite the facility still being a good distance away, the Smugglers Way reuse and recycling centre (RRC) is still the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in West Kensington. As it is located in Wandsworth, on the south bank of the Thames, it is generally regarded as being impractical for regular trips, but is still used for the disposal of either larger quantities of household refuse and recycling that cannot wait until the next collection day or bulky waste, like unwanted furniture or major appliances. And unlike many other RRCs, the Smugglers Way facility can also accept commercial waste from businesses in West Kensington for a fee. DIY waste, whether domestic or commercial, is similarly charged. The site is open from 9 AM to 4 PM on weekdays, 8 to 6 on Saturdays, and 8 to 5 on Sundays, but those planning to make the trip are advised to check the RRC’s webcam to ensure the current queue is not overly long.

What rubbish collection services are available in West Kensington?

Residential properties in West Kensington have twice-weekly collections for their domestic refuse and recycling, which are provided free of charge by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The collection days vary based on the exact address and type of the property, but residents are required to have their rubbish out by 6 AM on collection day, except in the case of those who have arranged for the free assisted collections. Clinical waste collections can likewise be requested free of charge, but only at the recommendation of a nurse or GP. Bulky waste collections for sofas and other large pieces of furniture and major appliances, on the other hand, are considered a paid-for service for both residential and commercial properties and charged a minimum of £26.55 per collection of up to ten items or bags of rubbish. As there is a limit to the number of requests for special collections that can be accepted, West Kensington residents are advised to book their slots as early as possible.
