North Kensington is a diverse, historically working-class area within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, marked by stark contrasts between social housing estates and Victorian terraces. Home to the Notting Hill Carnival's epicentre and the tragic Grenfell Tower, it attracts a mix of long-term residents, creative professionals, and families seeking the postcode cachet at lower prices than neighbouring Notting Hill. The area has strong community spirit, vibrant multicultural character, and excellent transport links, though gentrification continues to reshape its identity.
