About Kensal Green
What are the main landmarks in Kensal Green?
The cemetery defines Kensal Green. Kensal Green Cemetery fills much of the district, its avenues lined with monuments, the Dissenters' Chapel and memorials such as the Reformers' Memorial and the Belgian War Memorial. Beyond the graves, the district holds more.
The Linford Christie Stadium draws athletes, Kensal House stands among the streets, and the Church of St John the Evangelist marks a working parish. Stone, running and prayer.
What is the history of Kensal Green?
Kensal Green took its shape from Kensal Green Cemetery, laid out as a burial ground on open land beyond the crowded city and soon ringed by streets. Monuments filled its avenues. The Reformers' Memorial and memorials to figures such as Robert Owen still stand among them, while the Dissenters' Chapel served mourners outside the established church.
Housing followed. Kensal House and the parish churches of St John the Evangelist and St Michael and All Angels rose as London reached this far, turning fields into an ordinary corner of the capital.
