"The name Kensal Green is derived from "place by the king's wood", and remained largely farming land all the way up until the mid 1800s."

I really enjoy this time of year around Queens Park where spring is vividly breaking into life!

Oliver Browne

Lovely residential roads flanked by period homes and pretty green spaces make Queen's Park a desirable place to live.

Just a short distance from Queen's Park, Kensal Green is well connected and known for its independent amenities, adding to its fashionable appeal.

What locals say about Kensal Rise

  1. I love the hip and youthful vibe that's creeping into the area - The Shop is great for quirky cocktails, and The Whippet Inn has a great range of lagers and ales. It's really easy to get into central London and has some great independent stores.

  2. The Lexi Cinema on Chamberlayne Road - a beautiful boutique cinema with a real community feel, which also donates all its profits to charity. It's staffed by local volunteers, sells great wine, and has one of the most eclectic programmes of any cinema in London! In the summer, they also do outdoor cinema in the local parks...
