Even the area’s main transport hub, Ladbroke Grove tube station, was originally called Notting Hill from its opening in 1864 until 1880, and Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove between then and 1919, when it was renamed Ladbroke Grove (North Kensington). It acquired its current more simple name in 1938. The area was also once served by St. Quintin Park and Wormwood Scrubs railway station, until it closed in 1940.
North Kensington was once an area well known for its slum housing, as documented in the photographs of Roger Mayne, but housing prices have now risen and the area is considered exclusive and upscale.
The first mention of the area is in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was written in Latin as "Chenesitone", which has been interpreted to have originally been "Kenesignetun" (Kenesigne's land or meadows) in Anglo-Saxon. A variation may be Kesyngton, in 1396.
In 1901 it was granted the status of a royal borough, and therefore from then was also known as the Royal Borough of Kensington. The status was granted after the death of Queen Victoria, in accordance with her wish (she was born at Kensington Palace in the borough).
A number of street name plaques still bear the designation "Royal Borough of Kensington"; one such sign, in Portobello Road, is seen fleetingly in the Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971).
The Town Hall in Kensington High Street was an Italianate building dating from 1880 designed by Robert Walker. It was demolished "in controversial circumstances" in June 1982.
Kensington is a neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is between the Lower Northeast section of Philadelphia and North Philadelphia. Not to be confused with the former Kensington District, now commonly referred to as Fishtown. As with all neighborhoods in Philadelphia, the lack of any official designation means the boundaries of the area vary between sources and over time.

North Kensington is an area of west London, north of Notting Hill and south of Kensal Green. The Grand Union Canal is the official boundary between Kensal Green and North Kensington.

Recreation and playgrounds for children in inner city London, England, in the 1970s - particular focus is on North Kensington and Notting Hill.
Two boys walk along pavement with bags of chips. They throw chips in air and try to catch them in their mouths. Padlocked school gates at Isaac Newton school, North Kensington, London. Summer holidays for children. Boys play football in the street - one scores a goal. Piles of rubbish, slum housing. Boy jumps off wall onto broken mattress. Derelict housing. Rubbe piled up on pavement with bits of old tyers and rubbish. Burning tyres on a waste tip. Kids mess about in a wreckers yard. Children watch train go by through a wire fence. Graffiti "Where can I play". Nazi Swastika drawn backwards. Private parks which lock most people out. Privileged people in park, the children there have grass to play on. General views of North Kensington. Notting Hill slums have an adventure playground. Lots of black and white children running along pavement pulling a trolley in which other children sit, one little boy falls over. Children roll oil drums along. West Indian steel bands. Little girl rolls a barrel along that is nearly as big as she is. Man smoking. Children on rope swings and climb over adventure structure. Children climb over walls (would never be allowed today) Playing soldiers. Full-time staff. They can organise weekend camps. These children never go on holiday. One little girl says 'if my mum won the bingo we might go on holiday'. Playing football. Children complain there is not enough room to play, but though they complain most chldren visit the play ground every day. There is also a club for teenagers and older people to come to. The community uses the club as an information service as well and it is always open to the public. There are 6 full time staff. Singing games for young children - under fives. "Save the Children Fund" run playgroup. Children and toys in play areas. Painting and doing jigsaws.. Sandpits. Mothers also meet and make friends. Making things out of paper and paste. Toy guns. Climbing over walls. Building hut. Hammering nails - boys do creative achievement. Girl climbs down rope netting. Families suffer bad housing and sometimes the family has been split up. Little girl tells that her brother lives with his father and she lives with her mother, her auntie and grandmother and they all sleep in the same bed as they don’t have any room. Drawing chalk picture on ground. Slides. Camera shot sliding down slide.
