I have been able to book a two night stay at the HI London Kensington in a Duplex Suite on a "Priority Club Bonus Experience" rate, which has saved me £100 for the stay and gives me 2000 bonus points.
When I was logged onto the Priorityclub website, this rate was not showing, but when I logged on as a guest, it came up and it allowed me to book it when I did log on.
Anyone know anything about this rate?
Many thanks.

I am pleasantly surprised to learn that (a) you could get the Bonus Points rate for a UK hotel and (b) that the rate was cheaper than the normal rate, as they normally charge a significant premium for a relatively small number of bonus points.
To date, I have never found bonus point rates available for target dates in Europe or Africa, other than those offered from time to time for specific properties to Ambassadors or Priority Club members. Can you remember if you used a special link to access these rates?

It was there on a standard search for a hotel page for the HI London Kensington, but was only there when I wasn't logged in. A search once I was logged in didn't show it at all.
It did still allow me to book by using my PC account log in though.

Anyone know anything about this rate?
For the Kensington:
Priority Club Bonus Experience
DESCRIPTION:
Package includes 1000 priority club points per night for a maximum of three nights and breakfast for two adults. Priority Club Rewards Bonus points vouchers will be issued.
PLEASE NOTE:
Priority Club Rewards Bonus points awarded on 3 nights maximum.
RULES:
- MUST STAY NO MORE THAN: 3 NIGHTS
- CHECK-IN TIME: 02:00 PM
- CHECK-OUT TIME: 01:00 PM
For the dates I checked the "Priority Club Bonus Experience" rate was more expensive than the 14 Day AP rate, but cheaper than the 3 Day Advance with Breakfast rate. Worthy of consideration as you get breakfast in addition to the bonus points, and given the flexible cancellation policy on this rate (unlike either of the AP rates above).

This is the PCR Bonus Points Package, and apparently different from PC Bonus Experience. (Though to be honest, I thought it was this as well when I first read the OP's post). Trying the PCR Bonus Points Package link for the Hilton Kensington (at least on the several different dates I tried) only resulted in the message "The requested rate is not available. Try different dates or Show Available Rates".
To find the PC Bonus Experience rates the OP referred to, just carry out a standard hotel search. If these rates are available, they will show up.
For example, on the standard PC reservations page (www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/pc/1/en/home), input "London" and select "United Kingdom" in the appropriate boxes, and input the dates you want (I used April 1-3), and click the "Find Hotels" button. Wait for the list of available hotels to appear and scroll down to the London-Kensington (may be on the second page), and click on the "Select Hotel" button. This will bring up a list of room rates. You should find the PC Bonus Experience rates in the third "set" down. (The first set being 14-day Advance Purchase, and the second set being 3-day Advance Purchase.)
