Little Green Street and Kelly Street

Hidden in Kentish Town are two fabulous streets that any visitor should sneak a peak at before they leave. Little Green Street is located just off Highgate Road and is one of the few intact Georgian Streets left in London.

This tiny cobbled street, which is mainly Grade II listed, has survived since 1780 and famously featured in the Kinks 1966 music video Dead End Street. Meanwhile if you are wandering along Kentish Town Road towards Camden Town you might catch a glimpse of a rainbow of colour - go ahead and stroll up and down Kelly Street for the colourful sensation of multi-coloured terraces.

176 / Zabludowicz Collection

A former Methodist Church turned exhibition centre. The gallery is the home of the Zabludowicz Collection, a privately funded contemporary art collection focusing on emerging artists from the late 20th and 21st centuries. The collection has nearly 2,000 works by over 600 artists.
