Kensal Rise

Where I lived from 2000 to early 2002 - a street in Kensal Rise, London. I don't live in Kensal Rise anymore. Nice houses but not much else around except a cemetery (which I never visited) and an old, tiny library around the corner that, bizarrely, Mark Twain opened a hundred and four years ago. Oh, and the 24 hour "food and wine" place where drunk people would stumble in to buy instant noodles at 2am and buy alcohol even though the licence forbids them to sell it past 11pm (weird rules here). Kensal Rise likes to style itself as "up and coming". My old landlord told me once: "There's nowhere else it can go, really." Convenient transport links, though.
