  1. I used to think Kensal Green and Kensal Town were basically the same area but in fact I think the latter is in Regents Park and Kensington North / Westminster North.

  2. The name Kensal Town isn’t used much these days. Most of the areas north of Notting Hill Gate in the Royal Borough tend to be generically known as Notting Hill.

    It could be argued that part of the Kensal Green neighbourhood is in Brent East but that depends where you draw the neighbourhood boundary. Certainly at least the majority is in Brent South.
