Village Vibes and Paradise Parties.
Brimming Blooms and Silver Screenings. Life on the banks of the Grand Union.

Well connected, and with a strong village feel, Kensal Rise is on the up. It’s close enough to Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill to boast a touch of West London charm, and yet down to earth enough to feel like somewhere real Londoners want to live. In short, its days as a hidden gem are numbered. 
Stroll through the famous Kensal Green cemetery. Stop off at Paradise by way of Kensal Green – a local institution offering everything from Sunday roasts to live music. Then catch a film at The Lexi, Kensal Rise’s much-loved cinema. There’s a little bit of everything in this little nook of North West London – plus the rest of the city’s a hop, skip and tube ride away.
