Golborne
Kensington and Chelsea, London
Golborne sits at the north end of the borough around Portobello's Golborne Road, a dense ward with a strong Portuguese and Moroccan presence alongside the Trellick Tower. The whole ward lies inside a conservation area. Heritage is striking for its size: 166 listed buildings including the Grade I Anglican Chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery, the Grade II* Kensal House and the Grade II* Tomb of Mary Gibson. Forty Outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and public-transport access is good via Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park on the Hammersmith & City line. The food and retail offer is dense. The drawbacks are real: safety scores are well below average, air quality is poor given proximity to the A40, green space within the ward is limited to 3.9 hectares with Meanwhile Gardens the largest at 1.6, and market affordability is the lowest score in the dataset — Golborne sits inside the borough but relatively little of its housing stock is budget.
