One Kensington Gardens is a residential development of 97 apartments in a nine-storey (two of them underground) block in Kensington, London, completed in 2015, overlooking Kensington Gardens, and bounded by Victoria Road and De Vere Gardens.

It was designed by David Chipperfield Architects, and the main contractor was Sir Robert McAlpine.{{cite web|title=One Kensington Gardens, London, 2010–2015|url=http://www.davidchipperfield.co.uk/project/one_kensington_gardens|website=David Chipperfield Architects|accessdate=19 September 2016}}{{cite web|title=One Kensington Gardens|url=http://www.dalesauna.co.uk/latest-news/one-kensington-gardens/|website=DaleSauna|accessdate=19 September 2016}}

It was built on the site of the 1950s-built Palace and Thistle hotels at the northern end, and the De Vere Gardens mansion block at the southern end. The site was bought by the Candy brothers for £69 million, and sold 18 months later in 2008 to an Abu Dhabi consortium for £320 million.{{cite news|last1=Prynn|first1=Jonathan|title=Huge hole in Kensington will be £600 million apartment block|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/huge-hole-in-kensington-will-be-600-million-apartment-block-6382865.html|accessdate=19 September 2016|work=Evening Standard|date=21 March 2011}}{{cite web|title=One Kensington Gardens|url=http://www.buildington.co.uk/new_developments/london_w8/de_vere_gardens/one_kensington_gardens/id/2199|website=Buildington|accessdate=19 September 2016}}
