Kentish Town

Less than four miles north of central London, Kentish Town has good transport connections and is situated close to the open spaces of Hampstead Heath.

History Kentish Town was originally a small settlement on the River Fleet (the waterwa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
