The name ‘Kentish Town’, in recognisable form, was first recorded in 1208, during the reign of King John. By 1456, it bacame recognised as a significant but isolated rural hamlet.

Later in the 18th century the introduction of regular coach services, operating on improved roads, made Kentish Town increasingly convenient as a place to live, benefiting from a pleasant setting beside the Highgate tributary of the River Fleet.

With Kentish Town Road remaining a major route north, the early 19th century witnessed an fast expansion of building, in particular during the period between 1840 and 1870, when the majority of the earlier buildings were cleared. Large areas of land were acquired for railway development and the last grazing land disappeared in the 1860s, when a station opened opposite the Bull and Gate coaching inn. Underground stations followed, opening at South Kentish Town (now closed) and Kentish Town in 1907.

The post-Second World War period saw further housing projects replace a substantial number of the earlier dwellings, although the area still retains a great deal of charm, with its own unique character.

Just bought a house through Salter Rex in Kentish Town. Want to call out Folco for all his help. Always very responsive to our questions and passing on requests to the vendor in an efficient manner. Friendly and eager to understand our needs and requirements throughout the process.

I very warmly recommend Guy Russell of Salter Rex as an excellent estate agent who was a pleasure to work with. I was impressed by his strategic approach to selling the house. Estate agents don't always get a good press, perhaps sometimes with justification, but from first contact to the successful completion of our sale, he was friendly, thoughtful, completely straightforward, and very supportive. I'd recommend him and Salter Rex...

Guy at Salter Rex was an absolute delight to do business with on every level. True to his word, he offered sound and honest advice and was always available to answer questions or let us view the property again. Almost the complete opposite of every other estate agent I have dealt with in the area. Really can't recommend him and the team at Salter Rex highly enough.

Alastair

Guy at Salter Rex was the only estate agent I worked with who only showed me properties that were within my budget, in the area that I loved, and of the type of building/street that I requested. Every other agent just sent me random emails properties that had nothing to do with my parameters. I worked with Guy over several years and he never wasted my time -- everything he...

Alan and Graham were both fantastic from start to finish. I'm glad that I listened to their invaluable advice when it was most needed. They helped us to sell our property when other agents couldn't. We really can't recommend them highly enough.
