Kensal Rise is a great area. There are lots of non-chain cafes and restaurants (my favourites are Taste of Chamberlayne and Comptoir Mezze, which is Moroccan) and useful shops (a brilliant butcher/fishmonger/greengrocer, plus the usual Tesco etc). Queen’s Park is a 5 minute walk away and has brilliant playgrounds for all ages and also tennis courts, mini golf etc. Transport is very easy. We’re 2 minutes from Kensal Rise overground station (you can get to Shepherds Bush in 10 minutes, Richmond or Hampstead in 20, Islington and Hackney in 30) and 10 minutes from Kensal Green tube station (Bakerloo line to Baker Street, Oxford Street etc and also a 15 minute overground train to Euston). There are also buses that take you to Notting Hill in 15 minutes. We can arrange free parking for you if you'd like to drive.
I teach English literature in a university and like swimming and reading.
