Kenton, Residential district in northwest London, England
Kenton is a residential area in northwest London spanning parts of the Brent and Harrow boroughs. The district contains a network of housing streets with local shops and amenities serving the everyday needs of residents.
The settlement was first documented in 1232 under the name Keninton, derived from a Saxon personal name and an Old English word for farmstead. This early naming reflects the agricultural character of the land before it developed into a suburban district.
The area reflects the religious diversity of its residents through several places of worship serving different communities. Walking through the streets, you notice how these buildings represent the varied populations that have made their homes here over the decades.
The area is served by two train stations providing regular connections to central London. These stations make it easy to explore the neighborhood and travel to other parts of the city.
The Windermere is a Grade II listed pub built in 1938 that appears in the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. This building remains a distinctive feature of the local streetscape and reflects the architectural heritage of the period.
