Why go
The route changes naturally from neighborhood streets to royal parkland and finally serious indoor collections. Portobello Road belongs in the morning when the market is active; Kensington Palace or Serpentine Galleries can break the park walk. Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum are alternatives, not three obligations at the end of an already full day.
