Etymology

Unlike Kensington in London, this has a different origin: the name is from the Old English personal name Cyneræd + -inga "people of" + tun "farm", suggesting "farm of Cyneraed's people". The name was recorded as Ceneresintune in 1139. Kensington is an area to the west of Central London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. ... London (pronounced ) is the capital city of the United Kingdom and the largest city of England (strangely, England has no constitutional existence within the United Kingdom, and therefore cannot be said to have a capital). ...

Description

The area is made up largely of victorian terraces, and the majority are council owned. A number of local shops such as newsagents exist along Kensington, the area's main road. It has a high crime rate and average incomes are well below the national average. Residents of the area have a 50% chance of dying below the average UK life expectancy.


There are few nightlife attractions in Kensington, thought the area does boast a number of true Liverpool pubs.


Regeneration

In recent years due to an influx of money from the 'The Kensington Regeneration' programme, things are starting to improve with run down houses being renewed and street monitors being put in place to keep a good social order.
