Golborne Road

Golborne Road is a street in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London's Kensal Town.

It is a major street within the Golborne electoral ward of the local authority, Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council, which also includes the nearby Trellick Tower (pictured) and Grand Union Canal.

The area was part of the Great Forest of Middlesex; in 1543 the land was seized by Henry VIII and by the 18th century Golborne was farmland.

The junction of Golborne Road and Southam Street was the site of the murder of Antiguan immigrant Kelso Cochrane in 1959, an attack widely viewed as racially motivated.

[3] Golborne Road hosts a street market every day except Sunday, specialising in produce with hot food and bric-a-brac at the weekend.
