    Kensington is a small suburb bound by South Terrace in the south and Canning Highway in the west. 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. More than 4, 500 people live in the area, which was developed in the post-war years.
