Kensington Place runs between Campden Hill Road and Kensington Church Street. It is on a slight incline.
The southern side of the street contains some small cottages at the eastern end. The north side consists of two-storey (plus basement) terraced Victorian houses. Some of the houses are painted in light pastel colours whereas the others are natural brick-faced.
On the south side of Kensington Place at the western end are two modern red-brick blocks of flats, eight storeys high, and also a small terrace of modern, red-brick town-houses. The blocks of flats have extensive underground parking areas.
