Kentish Town South
Camden, London
Kentish Town South occupies the strip of Camden between Camden Town and Kentish Town proper, either side of the Kentish Town Road. The area developed from a Georgian village along the old road north, with the Victorian grid filling in between 1830 and 1870; the disused South Kentish Town tube station on the Northern line, closed in 1924, remains a quiet piece of its transport history. The ward has 26 listed buildings including the Grade II* Church of St Luke With St Paul and the Grade II Blustons shop front, with close to half the ward inside a conservation area. Transport is strong: Kentish Town West and Camden Road on the Overground, plus Camden Town and Kentish Town on the Northern line, give very good public-transport access. Around 114 food venues and 119 non-food venues reflect the dense mixed high-street culture, and 33 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. The drawbacks: green space is minimal at 2 hectares, with Cantelowes Gardens the largest open area, and air-quality scores are poor thanks to the constant traffic on Kentish Town Road. Safety sits below the London median.
