Living in Kentish Town

Overview

If you’re looking for cool yet understated and with some old-school charm, then Kentish Town is for you. Whilst the high street may look a little run down, there’s oh so much more to Kentish Town than meets the eye. There are some incredibly cool cocktail bars, colourful rows of houses, the canal, and The Lido. Where everyone may head to Notting Hill for those brightly coloured houses, you’ll find streets of them here, tucked away off the main road. But it’s quieter. Until you find a boozer, then it can get pretty busy (they’ve won many awards don’t you know?).

Alongside the houses, you’ve got The Heath on your doorstep, which is a whooping 790 acres. How’s that for a place to run? And of course, The Lido, because when the sun eventually makes an appearance here in London, it’s the perfect place for a dip.
