Kensington Market is a walkable neighbourhood filled with a variety of shops, from vintage clothing stores to eateries. So what’s so great about it? It may be simplified to a bunch of stores lined up on a street. It’s much more than that. The Kensington Market is a neighbourhood filled with diversity. There is an abundance of different cultures. It’s a wonderful place for tourists and artists to visit, because outside of the shops, there are a number of shows and scenic areas to explore.

There is no way that you will go to Kensington and be disappointed. There is something for everyone. There are a number of vintage stores such as Bungalow and Courage My Love. These shops have antique artifacts and vintage clothing. All the different shops have something unique to offer. There are custom cards in Subrosa Vintage as well as a great selection of clothing. Here is a picture of my beautiful friend wearing an amazing vintage jacket she bought from Kensington.

I especially enjoy mini shows that take place at Kensington. One side of the street would have a magic show while the other has someone playing a musical instrument. It’s never quiet in Kensington. There’s always something to see.

There are a number of amazing places to eat as well. One place I can recommend is Wanda’s Pie in the Sky. It is vegetarian friendly and they supply free coffee!

There is also a very cute little shop filled with plants. There’s not much to say other than the fact that it is absolutely beautiful to look at.
