An area in the London Borough of Camden, within postcode district NW5.

The development of the area was as a settlement on the road to Highgate, which became more favoured in the mid-18th century with the coming of improved coach transport. It remained partly rural until the mid-19th century, but all this had gone by the 1870s. Kentish Town Station (and South Kentish Town Station, now closed and at present the site of a Cash Converter store) opened in 1907. The area saw improvements to its run-down conditions in the early-20th century, and there was redevelopment after World War II, which saw the return of the middle-classes.

The area's main thoroughfare is Kentish Town Road, whose mix of gastropubs and discount stores perhaps gives a flavour of the different local populations. It also houses the Forum music venue.

Kentish Town borders Belsize Park to the west, Gospel Oak to the north, Tufnell Park to the north-east, Camden Town to the south and Chalk Farm to the south-west.
