Originally one of ten manors within the district of Willesden, Kensal Rise was first recorded in 1253, translating from old English meaning the King’s Holt (King’s Wood). Until the Victorian era, the area remained largely agricultural. A rise in residential development is attributed to the building of the Great Western Railway and Grand Union Canal (1800s). The area has been popular ever since. Several celebrities, such as Ian Wright, Sophie Dahl, Jamie Cullum, Paloma Faith and Rita Ora have called this neighbourhood home.
