Kentishtowner Welcome to North London's award-winning daily cultural guide and monthly print edition. Part of the Why The Kentishtowner? It’s a state of mind, innit.

Simply because Kentish Town is as old as the hills. It dates back further (1206) than Camden, or any of the surrounding areas. And thriving by the 15th century, it’s pretty much seen it all: industry, wealth, poverty, fashionability (or otherwise) and a dictionary of architectural styles. And of course now, in 2012, it’s up and coming once more; en vogue even. But whilst The Kentishtowner website

is dedicated to cultural affairs – art, food, film, booze, fashion, history, music – in this corner of central north London and beyond, we’re not bound by boroughs or geography. NW5 may at the heart of what we’re about, but we love the capital as a whole, and will happily cover anything of cultural interest, anywhere at all. So contact us. We’re quite sociable and will consider hook-ups of all kinds, be they editorial, sponsored or whatever, and we’ll read well-written press releases or any relevant information about any of the above. We’re also keen for contributions of any kind, so if you think you’ve got what it takes, drop us a line.

f course Kentish Town is ancient - dating back to 1206 - and has many claims to fame. But did you realise that there exists a Kentish Town Panorama, depicting four and a half miles of local scenery at the turn of the 19th century? Donate just £2 to Kentishtowner…
