Kensington overview
Kensington is a small suburb bound by South Terrace in the south and Canning Highway in the west. Developed in the post-war years, the suburb was named after the former Kensington Park Racecourse, which was most likely named after William Samuel Cox's Kensington Park Racecourse, in Melbourne. It is in a convenient location close to a number of inner-city urban hubs and just a few kilometres from Perth City.
