Area Description
Kensington is one of Johannesburg's oldest eastern suburbs, laid out on the ridges between the city centre and Bedfordview and falling within the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The suburb is known for its period housing, pressed ceilings and timber detailing, its mature street trees and its elevated positions with long views across the city, and it has drawn steady renovation interest alongside its established family market. Queen Street is the local high street, with coffee shops, restaurants, convenience retail and professional offices, while Park Meadows and Eastgate Shopping Centre provide full regional shopping a short drive east. Several long-standing primary schools and pre-schools serve the suburb, and medical care is close by at the Life New Kensington Clinic and Life Bedford Gardens Hospital. The area is served by Queen Street, Langerman Drive, Kitchener Avenue and Roberts Avenue, giving access to the M2, the N3 Eastern Bypass and the routes into the Johannesburg city centre and the East Rand.
