South End

South End is rather like a little village centre. Surrounded by attractive houses, it has five streets leading into it. It is most definitely one of the most secret backwaters of Kensington and the houses are each quite unique. There is a central flower garden which adds to the village feel.

South End Row is a small cul-de-sac on the south side containing small Victorian cottages. The western leg of South End is cobbled, leading to the rear entrance to the garden which is behind the convent in Kensington Square.

Ansdell Terrace on the north is a small tree-lined cul-de-sac and there is also Leith’s School of Food and Wine. Next door to that is the local neighbourhood pub, called the Builders Arms.

South End was built to the south of Kensington Square.

The premises on the north side were the back parts of houses in Kensington Square. They were ‘improved’ or rebuilt during 20th Century.

The south side originally housed coffee rooms and other shops.
