L ondon is a city of villages, and Kentish Town tells this story well.
The area is a vivid mix of urban vibrancy and pastoral peace, located in pole position between cool Camden Town, airy Hampstead Heath and Regent’s Park – and it has a growing sense of its own identity.
Within, Kentish Town has something for everyone. Fashionable enough to attract the young, it is grown-up enough to lure families and London returnees. With handsome mid-Victorian terraces, pastel cottages and light-filled ex-industrial spaces like The Maple Building – Kentish Town was once the UK’s centre of furniture and piano manufacturing – it offers a huge range of lifestyle choices and a vast roster of pubs and restaurants that look after their local devotees with gusto.
Kentish Town grew around the railway network in the mid-19th century and its connections remain excellent. The West End is only ten minutes away, the City a quarter of an hour, and nearby are the great stations of King’s Cross and St Pancras, connecting to Paris and beyond. You can be anywhere in London within minutes: via underground, overground, car, bus and bicycle.
But stay awhile and delve into Kentish Town’s past and present. Below its streets flows the subterranean Fleet River. Above them flows the hubbub of a renewed district where newly-arrived writers, artists and politicians mingle with settled Irish and Cypriot communities. Ever evolving, Kentish Town represents true London liveability.

The food and drink offering in Kentish Town just keeps on getting better, and the area has become one of London’s most keenly-watched dining destinations. Try Pane Vino’s Sardinian delicacies on Kentish Town Road, and while on the Italian theme, check out Arancini Brothers and Anima e Cuore. Pizza East (pictured), Chicken Shop and Dirty Burger offer a triumvirate of smartened-up staples.
The Fields Beneath and Two Doors Down are poetically-named coffee shops, and pub-wise Kentish Town is exceptional. The Pineapple, the Camden Town Brewery and the Assembly House are all favourites, while the Bull & Last has been upgraded from rock and roll hangout to fantastic gastropub.

Kentish Town has a growing gallery trail. Start at the Zabludowicz Collection (above) on Prince of Wales Road, where cutting-edge art fits well into a grand old neoclassical chapel. Track back to the Beardsmore Gallery, then to contemporary arts organisation Rowing in Leighton Place, photographer Rankin’s Annroy Gallery and – most curious of all – Flaxon Ptootch on Kentish Town Road, which doubles as a hairdresser. There’s excellent theatre at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre and two of London’s most renowned concert
venues: the Roundhouse at nearby Chalk Farm Road and the vast art deco Forum in Kentish Town’s heart. Over the years, Kentish Town has been home to a huge number of writers, among them George Orwell and Karl Marx, but for locals the most celebrated is Gillian Tindall, who in 1977 published the definitive Kentish Town book, a deep history entitled The Fields Beneath. After great interest it was reissued in 2010 and now a coffee bar has been named after it.

Kentish Town is full of picturesque attractions, great and small. Some befit its origins as a transport hub, like the Regent’s Canal (pictured), now a place to stroll and relax – particularly at famous Camden Lock. A favourite walk is to head west along the canal to Regent’s Park, laid out by master architect John Nash in the early 19th century and one of the Royal Parks. Not far north from the Grand Union Canal, Camden Lock is the Roundhouse, itself an old train-servicing shed and now a legendary arts venue. A few hundred yards further is the Zabludowicz Collection: cutting-edge art and a great café in a fantastic refurbishment of a neoclassical chapel. The nearby Kentish Town City Farm is a boon to children, with a friendly menagerie that includes horses, cows and extremely talkative ducks.
Don’t forget Kentish Town’s quieter corners. Little Green Street, opposite The Maple Building, is one of the prettiest small streets in London, while those in search of verdant solace can walk uphill past Dartmouth Park to Parliament Hill Fields and Hampstead Heath. In these feted lungs, one can find the best views London has to offer. Further up, towards Highgate, there’s the astonishing Highgate Cemetery, where all manner of luminaries are interred, from Karl Marx to local authors Douglas Adams and Beryl Bainbridge. Like Kentish Town itself, all human life is there.

Kentish Town suits all generations, without the age barriers that beset some areas. Hampstead Heath and Regent’s Park are two great resources for children and grown-ups: here, the Parliament Hill Café is the great rendezvous, and a dog the ideal accessory. Nearby, the Parliament Hill Lido is a huge art deco pool, beautifully refurbished but unheated, and with a paddling pool for under-5s (the showers are hot, by the way). Swimmers are well catered for locally. The glorious Victorian baths in Prince of Wales Road reopened in 2010 after a £25 million restoration and if you prefer your swimming wilder, head to the famous Women’s and Men’s Ponds on
Hampstead Heath. Kentish Town City Farm (see also Landmarks) can occupy a whole day, and for bigger beasts, head to London Zoo in Regent’s Park. Toddlers will appreciate the Treetops soft play centre at Talacre Community Sports Centre. Owl Bookshop on Kentish Town Road is much-loved and great for browsing, and rewards can be found at Pizza East and Marine Ices on Chalk Farm Road, which has remarkably been selling great ice cream (and pizzas) since 1931.
From rock and roll to foodie markets, Kentish Town has it all. There are several celebrated venues within easy reach, ranging from titans such as the Forum and the Roundhouse. Koko and the Electric Ballroom are both located in nearby Camden, while Dingwalls in Camden Lock has been a venue for breaking bands since 1973. For drama, there’s the Lion and Unicorn Theatre and the Etcetera Theatre, while Hampstead Theatre in nearby Swiss Cottage excels in presenting the work of new playwrights.
When it comes to shopping, Kentish Town Road has several diversions, including the Owl Bookshop. The Dandy Lion Market is a monthly fixture showcasing independent vintage items and affordable arts and crafts at the Sir Richard Steele pub in Haverstock Hill (check its Facebook page for news) and of course there’s Camden Lock Market, where teenagers disappear for days, leaving parents free to go to the Parliament Hill Farmers Market. Kentish Towners are never bored.

It may not reveal itself at first glance but Kentish Town is blessed with great access to green space. To the north lies the extraordinary expanse of Hampstead Heath, ranging from well-tended sports fields to mature, hilly wilderness. At Hampstead Ponds there are three natural swimming pools – gender criteria apply, so choose wisely – and the view from Parliament Hill Fields is one of the best urban vistas in the world. Up Swain’s Lane, Highgate Cemetery is untamed and atmospheric, and its denizens are privileged to be amid such natural beauty.
To the south of Kentish Town, the Regent’s Canal brings one to Camley Street Natural Park, which despite its proximity to regenerated King’s Cross station can make the visitor feel as if they are in the countryside.
Walk either way along the canal and a sense of being out of London pervades. As well as the Heath, the other great north London lung is Regent’s Park, which has a huge range of environments, from the formal Italian Gardens to a lake with a boating area. At its north lies Primrose Hill, which affords another great view of London and leads to the area of the same name, which is a short walk from Kentish Town.
Open space: Hampstead Heath is a short walk from Kentish Town, while local parks include Cantelowes Gardens, which has a children’s playground, tennis courts and a skatepark. Talacre Gardens also has a children’s playground and sports centre.

Once a furniture factory, then a clothing factory, it is characterised by the large metal double-glazed windows
in the period Crittall style which feature throughout. With a high internal specification as well as its signature rhythmic
fenestration, The Maple Building has insisted on strong acoustic and design performance, ensuring that all interior
spaces are as cosy and comfortable as they are well-lit and airy.

ur concierge can assist residents with all their needs, providing
24-hour assistance, directing members to the on-site gym and helping guests in The Maple Building’s lounge area.
In addition, the concierge will know about the best restaurants, pubs and jogging trails in Kentish Town and its environs. They will know where to find the best take-outs as well as giving directions to the theatre and concert halls. It’s important to us that we can help residents wherever possible.
The concierge also illustrates that we take security seriously. There is CCTV surveillance throughout all public areas, security fob access to all building entrances, and colour video entry to the apartments, which all have a direct link to the concierge.
For security we have fitted smoke and heat detectors, a sprinkler fire protection system, and a high security door lock and spyhole on all front doors.

The Team
“The Maple Building is an exciting office to residential development in a diverse and well-connected part of Kentish Town. Working with the contractor and design team, we are providing the guidance and
leadership to deliver a successful project for the client. This high-end residential development offers spectacular vistas over London and
nearby Hampstead Heath.”
“CSA is an architectural company committed to delivering successful and high quality design solutions. Good design enhances people’s
lives. We strive to deliver inspirational built environments that respond to their surroundings. The Linton Group began with a vision for The Maple Building which we have helped them to construct as
an iconic example of London warehouse living. With light and space in abundance, the rejuvenated building now oozes unique identity
and character.”
“Gordon-Duff & Linton is an architectural interior design practice with a studio in Clapham and offices in Knightsbridge. We create bespoke
interiors that are tailor-made, individual and always complement the character of the building. Having worked with Linton on several
successful developments in Chelsea, we were excited by the opportunity to transform The Maple Building – a remarkable red brick
factory in Kentish Town – into individually designed apartments.”

“Synergy Consulting Engineers is an independent Engineering Design Practice. We are always conscious of the need to make environmental
systems work along with human nature, and we strive to design systems that require only minimal pro-active participation from their occupants. We were delighted to work with The Linton Group on this
iconic building.”
“We were delighted to be involved with the project from the outset, to work with an enthusiastic and enlightened client in transforming this
historic building into a fantastic high quality residential development. As a design and build contractor we inherited a well-considered and detailed design which we were able to complete and then deliver the
building to the quality and in the timescales the client required.”
