CV5 Vision for Kensal in 2028

Kensal Canalside Opportunity Area will have been transformed from a former gasworks and railway depot into a thriving, well-connected community. A new Elizabeth Line station will minimise the need for private vehicle use, improve employment prospects in the north of the borough and make travelling to work easier. Drawing on its industrial heritage, new housing will complement the historic setting of the Kensal Green Cemetery and dockside development will improve access to the waterway. New connections will knit the new neighbourhood into the existing city fabric and link westwards to Scrubs Lane and Old Oak Park Royal.

Two new schools will have been built at Barlby Road as part of the Council’s investment in the area.

Kensal Employment Zone will provide flexible workspace, and supporting uses that bring vitality, building on the area’s existing strengths in the creative sector.
