Tucked just north of the Bow River, Kensington feels like a small town inside the city. Kensington Road and 10th Street NW are lined with independent boutiques, bookshops, restaurants and coffee spots, all within an easy walk.
What to do
Browse the local shops, grab a coffee and stroll down to the river pathway. From there, the Peace Bridge takes you across to downtown on foot or by bike.
Why locals love it
Kensington is all about small businesses. Shopping here keeps money in the neighbourhood and supports the owners who make it special.
