Kentish Town London Map

About Kentish Town

Kentish Town thrives as a vibrant part of London's northern expanse. It lies 4.9 km north of London (from London: bearing 350°T, OS grid TQ 290 851). Once an independent village in Middlesex, its streets now echo with the mingled footsteps of commuters and long-time residents, a pleasingly varied populace. The fine Georgian terraces, some with their stucco gleaming under the often-soft London light, speak of a prosperous past, whilst the lively independent shops and eateries hint at a spirited present. One might catch the scent of baking bread from a local bakery mingling with the exhaust fumes of a passing bus, a distinctly urban perfume. The presence of Parliament Hill Fields, a generous sweep of green offering panoramic city views, provides a breath of open air, a welcome contrast to the closely built urban fabric.
