Kensal Green Cemetery is one of the most historically extraordinary landmarks in the whole of North West London and gives Kensal Green a cultural and architectural identity found nowhere else in the portfolio. It is one of the famous Magnificent Seven garden cemeteries built in London during the 1830s, the first of them to open, consecrated on 24 January 1833 and inspired by Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. The cemetery covers 72 acres of grounds including two conservation areas adjoining the Grand Union Canal, and is home to at least 33 species of bird and other wildlife alongside remarkable Victorian mausoleums, chapels and ornate tombs. Among those buried at Kensal Green are the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the computer pioneer Charles Babbage, the playwright Harold Pinter, the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray, the novelist Anthony Trollope, and members of the British royal family including Prince George, Duke of Cambridge. The cemetery is free to enter and wander daily, with Sunday catacomb tours available for those wishing to explore the underground vaults. G. K. Chesterton immortalised the cemetery in lines from his poem The Rolling English Road, writing that there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by Way of Kensal Green. Our team carries out moves from the residential streets surrounding the cemetery regularly and we know the access and parking considerations in this part of NW10 extremely well.

Yes, moves from the residential properties close to the Grand Union Canal's Paddington Arm are something we carry out regularly across Kensal Green and NW10. The Grand Union Canal is the longest canal route in England at 137 miles from London to Birmingham, and its Paddington Arm runs along the southern edge of Kensal Green providing a scenic natural walkway that residents can follow all the way to Little Venice and beyond, flanked by historic locks and gasometer silhouettes evoking the area's industrial heritage. Alongside the canal sits Meanwhile Gardens, a distinctive community green space offering canalside calm with a skate park, ponds and a Moroccan Garden created on reclaimed wasteland, and a genuinely unique character that sets Kensal Green apart from every other part of NW10. The residential streets close to the canal towpath include a mix of Victorian terraces, modern conversions and newer apartment developments, and our team knows the access and parking arrangements in this part of Kensal Green well.

Yes, moves from the properties along and around Chamberlayne Road are one of the most frequent and well-established jobs we carry out across Kensal Green and NW10. Chamberlayne Road is the main commercial and social spine of Kensal Green, running north from Kensal Green station towards Kensal Rise, and was described by Vogue magazine in 2009 as the hippest street in Europe — a label that reflects its remarkable concentration of independent cafes, wine bars, restaurants, creative businesses and community spaces. The street is home to beloved local institutions including the Whippet Inn gastropub, Paradise by Way of Kensal Green — a music and entertainment venue that inspired the G. K. Chesterton phrase — and Cable Co., a much-loved independent coffee shop. The residential streets leading off Chamberlayne Road include some of the most characterful and sought after Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the whole of NW10. Our team plans every move in this part of Kensal Green with the local knowledge and advance preparation it requires.

Kensal House is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in Kensal Green and one of the most important examples of modernist social housing in the whole of London. Designed by architect Maxwell Fry and completed in 1937, Kensal House comprises 68 flats that are Grade II* listed — one of the highest levels of architectural protection in England — built using the innovative zeilenbau design approach which oriented the blocks to maximise sunlight and natural ventilation for every flat. The building was a pioneering blueprint for social housing design and its Grade II* listing places it in the same category of architectural significance as some of the finest Georgian and Victorian buildings in the country. Our team regularly carries out moves from Kensal House and is very familiar with its access and loading arrangements.

Parking in Kensal Green requires careful advance planning. Chamberlayne Road is a busy main road with very limited stopping space throughout the day, and the Harrow Road running along the southern edge of the area can be congested at peak hours. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the residential streets of NW10 typically have no off-street parking and are largely permit zones with limited visitor bays. Some of the newer apartment developments close to Kensal Green station have their own controlled access and loading arrangements. Our team will advise you thoroughly in advance on the best loading and unloading approach for your specific Kensal Green address, including whether a parking suspension bay may be required, to keep your move running smoothly and on time.

The name Kensal Green has one of the most interesting etymological origins of any area in the portfolio. The first part of the name was recorded as Kingisholt in 1253, meaning the King's Wood, and the full name was recorded in 1550. Kensal Green was for a long time a very remote area straddling the Harrow Road, originally depicted in 1599 as a broad green at the junction of Harrow Road with Kilburn Lane on the borders of the parishes of Willesden and Kensington. The transformation of Kensal Green from a rural hamlet into a suburban community of London was driven by two pivotal moments: the arrival of the Grand Union Canal in 1801, which revolutionised transport by hauling Midlands goods to the Thames, and the opening of Kensal Green Cemetery in 1833, which brought both employment and rapid residential development to the surrounding streets.
