Kentish Town is best known for its colourful properties that line the streets, with Kelly Street being particularly famous for 'rainbow' houses. These charming period Victorian homes not only put a smile on your face but are great for families too. The area isn’t short of unique converted properties: try the Chappell Piano Factory, an industrial building transformed into stylish luxury apartments, an ideal spot for young professionals.
Take a look at some of the historical and independent pubs, cafes and restaurants which make up the bustling social scene. Assembly House is a popular spot for a pint; independent cafe Saint Espresso is known for its great coffee, or find Kentish Town’s backstreet gem of a boozer, The Pineapple, which offers excellent Thai food.
In terms of parks, Montpelier Gardens provides a green open space for residents to enjoy, and the new children's play area makes for a famous family hang-out spot. Not known to many, but Kentish Town is also home to the UK’s first urban farm: The Kentish Town City Farm is a great place to escape city life. Say hello to Shirley the cow from us…
