Kensal Green is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Brent. The area is also referred to as Kensal Rise. A small area on the eastern edge of the London Borough of Brent, Kensal Green borders the boroughs of Westminster to the East, and Kensington and Chelsea to the South. Surrounding neighbourhoods include Willesden Green to the north, Harlesden to the West, Brondesbury and Queens Park to the East and Ladbroke Grove to the south.

The names Kensal Green and Kensal Rise are used interchangably to denote the same neighbourhood, although some do attempt to differentiate between the areas based on proximity to the local tube and train stations. Roughly speaking, the area west of Chamberlayne Road and south of Kensal Rise railway station is considered Kensal Green while east of Chamberlayne Road and north of the station is considered Kensal Rise. These boundaries are by no means fixed however and residents are known to use both terms with little regard for geographical accuracy.

A third area south of Harrow Road, around the area of Kensal Road is infrequently referred to as Kensal Town. Since Harrow Road is generally considered to be the southern boundary of Kensal Green, most residents class Kensal Road and its environs as part of Westbourne Park. Once again, this is in no way an official classification.

Nestled between areas of prosperity and urban degradation, Kensal Green is a contradiction in terms typical of many inner city neighbourhoods that has led to an eclectic mix of residents. Up until the early 1980s the largest ethnic group in Kensal Green, and its environs (such as Harlesden, Willesden, Cricklewood and Kilburn) was Irish immigrants but the area also boasted a sizeable Afro-Caribbean contingent. Over the course of the two decades the Irish community has largely vacated the area, although the legacy of their presence remains, not least in the number of Irish pubs that continue to populate the area.

In the late 1980s the area gained an unenviable reputation as a run down and crime-ridden district, a name that the area has found hard to shake due to a number of high-profile crimes that have garnered widespread media attention. It was a reputation that led author John Preston to note: 'When he first moved to Kensal Green, Hugh had assumed that it would only be a matter of time before the area came up in the world. After all, it was close to fashionable areas such as Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove. But, as he'd discovered, there were certain parts of London that remained immune from any from of gentrification. Kensal Green was one of them; it seemed to have fallen off the property map altogether.'

Recent years have seen a renaissance in the neighbourhood's fortunes however. Due to the explosion in the London property market and Kensal Green's central location and excellent transport links, large numbers of young professionals have flocked to the area in the course of the last five years. This shift has been mirrored by the number of niche furniture stores, luxury delicatessens and 'trendy' gastropubs that have openned on Chamberlayne Road of late. Today Kensal Green is a young, dynamic and multicultural corner of London refreshingly devoid of the ego that characterises apparently fashionable areas like Clapham and Hoxton.

One of the key reasons that Kensal Green has proved so popular with young professionals in recent years is its excellent transport links. Kensal Green tube (Zone 2) on the Bakerloo Line is only 20 minutes from Oxford Circus and the West End. Silverlink services also operate to London Euston, a journey that takes around 15 minutes. Silverlink Metro (also known as the North London Line) operates out of Kensal Rise train station and provides regular services to Richmond in the West and North Woolwich in the East. Extensive bus services also run from the area, including the No. 18 (Harlesden - Euston), No. 6 (Willesden Bus Garage - Aldwych) and No. 52 (Willesden Bus Garage - Victoria Station). From February 2007 the London Congestion Charge will extend into Kensington and Chelsea and reach as far north as Harrow Road, the southern boundary of Kensal Green. Any vehicles travelling south down Ladbroke Grove or west along Harrow Road and into Central London will be liable to pay the £8 daily charge between 7.00AM and 6.30PM Monday to Friday.

Local residents have expressed concern that drivers seeking to avoid paying the congestion charge will move their route north through the streets of Kensal Green. While this problem will in all probability affect all areas north of the charge zone, it may be a particular problem in Kensal due to the fact that the main north-south artery through the neighbourhood, Chamberlayne Road, already suffers from congestion during peak times, as does Harvist Road and Harrow Road, two important east-west arteries.
