Kensington
Kensington Village
A bohemian neighbourhood on the north bank of the Bow River, lined with independent cafés, bookshops and small restaurants, a short walk across Peace Bridge.
Kensington sits in the Sunnyside community, centred on Kensington Road and 10 Street NW. Both sides of the streets are lined with independent cafés, dessert shops, vintage and design boutiques, and a long-running art-house cinema. It is about a 15-minute walk from downtown across Peace Bridge, or you can get off at Sunnyside station on the C-Train. It is a good place for coffee and dinner after a stroll through Prince's Island Park.
