Life in Kensington, 2033.

Kensington is one of Sydney's best-kept secrets. Located just a stone’s throw from the CBD and adjacent to the vibrant Randwick, this suburb offers a blend of leafy streets, rich history, and easy access to the action. Here are a few of my favourite things about Kensington:

Centennial Park
A short stroll from Kensington, Centennial Park is the ultimate outdoor escape. With over 200 hectares of green space, it's perfect for walking, jogging, cycling, or enjoying a picnic. The park is also home to the iconic Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre, where you can watch horse riders in action or even take a riding lesson yourself.

The Doncaster Hotel
The Doncaster Hotel is a local favourite and a great spot to relax after a busy week. With its laid-back vibe, hearty meals, and an inviting outdoor terrace, it’s where you’ll find Kensington’s residents gathering for a cold drink or a casual meal.

Kensington’s Café Culture
Kensington has a growing café scene, with places like Todman Cafe serving up delicious pastries and expertly brewed coffee. It’s the perfect spot for a lazy weekend brunch or a mid-week caffeine fix. Also great for people watching. 

Local Parks and Green Spaces
In addition to Centennial Park, Kensington is home to several smaller parks and green spaces, perfect for families or those looking for a peaceful retreat. The Playground on Todman Avenue is a hidden gem for families, offering playgrounds and open spaces for the kids to run wild.

Transport Links
Kensington is well-connected to the rest of Sydney, with direct bus routes to the city and neighbouring suburbs like Randwick, Coogee, and Maroubra. With easy access to major roads, it’s ideal for those commuting to the city or heading out to the beach.

Kensington is the perfect mix of convenience and calm, with everything you need for a balanced lifestyle, whether you’re enjoying nature, local cafés, or hanging out at the pub.
