Kensington, Calgary
Kensington is a Business Revitalization Zone (BRZ) in Calgary, Alberta, focused around the intersection of Kensington Road and 10th St. NW, also known as the Kensington-Louise Crossing Business Association. It resides primarily in the Hillhurst and Sunnyside neighbourhood, and successful marketing has made it such that the neighbourhood itself is erroneously referred to as Kensington. It is located immediately north of downtown and the Bow River. It lately has been considered one of Calgary's trendiest neighbourhoods and many of its shops, restaurants and drinking establishments have a distinctly Bohemian flare.
Unlike the 17th Avenue area, there are only a small number of late night establishments in Kensington. The last coffee shops close before midnight. The drinking establishments (primarily Irish pubs) are relatively calm and do not promote the party atmosphere found on 17th Avenue. These include: Molly Malone's, Sam's, The Yardhouse, Kensington Pub, and Original Joe's
The Calgary C-Train (above ground light-rail transit system) runs through the Kensington area via Sunnyside Station. The station is located at 2nd Avenue and 10th Street N.W.
