Kentish Town
Area of London, England
About
Kentish Town is an area in the London Borough of Camden, immediately north of Camden Town, close to Hampstead Heath.
The area was initially a small settlement on the River Fleet, first recorded in 1207 during King John's reign. The early 19th century brought modernization to the area, and it became a popular resort due to its accessibility from London. Karl Marx lived in Kentish Town from 1855 until his death in 1883.
