Kensal Green area guide

Time Out's round-up of the best pubs, bars and restaurants in Kensal Green

Advertising

Some great boutique bars, pubs and restaurants help Kensal Green (also known as Kensal Rise, confusingly) to retain a certain unique charm - one that it's been cultivating since at least the '60s, when the counterculture seemed to like it around here. It's much calmer these days, but there was a tornado in 2006 (it made the news), which certainly ruffled a few local feathers.

What are your favourite Kensal Green haunts? Let us know in the comments.
