Some great boutique bars, pubs and restaurants help Kensal Green (also known as Kensal Rise, confusingly) to retain a certain unique charm - one that it's been cultivating since at least the '60s, when the counterculture seemed to like it around here. It's much calmer these days, but there was a tornado in 2006 (it made the news), which certainly ruffled a few local feathers.
