Kensington Gore is the name of a U-shaped thoroughfare on the south side of Hyde Park in the City of Westminster, England. The streets connect the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal College of Art, the Royal Geographical Society, and in Kensington Gardens the Albert Memorial. The area is named after the Gore estate which occupied the site until it was developed by Victorian planners in the mid 19th century. A gore is a narrow, triangular piece of land.
the wedge-shaped piece of land which divides them, and which has been known from Anglo-Saxon times as The Gore. The street replaces part of Kensington Road, connecting what would otherwise be two separate streets.
