The Neighborhood:
Vogue once named Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise as “the hippest street in Europe” thanks to the shops, restaurants, bars and cafés located here and the beautiful trendy folk who frequent them. Few other places in the world get this sort of celebrity attention.
Not only that but there are some great local restaurants and pubs nearby, with The Island being our personal favourite.
There are lots of local shops on College Road: a fantastic Italian deli called Angolo, The Kensal Store is a well-stocked health-food store with fruit & veg & hot vegetable curries for take away. The best coffee is from Sonora Cafe & Deli, a Mexican neighbourhood deli that's just across the road. Brooks Butcher is on Chamberlayne Road, a 5 minute walk, and has excellent quality meat, as well as great seasonal fruit, veg, cheeses etc.
Getting Around:
Kensal Rise is in a prime location, sitting next to the City of Westminster and surrounded by areas including Notting Hill, Maida Vale, Paddington and Kensington. One of the main reasons why it’s such a popular area to live in is the great transport links. Kensal Rise station provides connections through to Richmond and Clapham while Kensal Green tube station is on the Bakerloo line and a 20 minute journey from Oxford Circus. There are plenty of bus services and, for those feeling a little more athletic, there’s a bike path running along the canal from Kensal Rise to Paddington.
