North Kensington Gate

Rising on the Grand Union Canal in West London, North Kensington Gate by City & Docklands is a completed development of 208 homes across three linked buildings of 6, 8 and 24 storeys. Designed by Allies and Morrison, the scheme offers 150 private-sale apartments from Manhattan suites to three-bedrooms, ranging from around 40 m² to 124 m², every one with a balcony or private outdoor space. First completions took place in 2025 and homes are ready to move into.

Location is the real strength: the £1.7 billion Old Oak Common — the UK's largest new station and the only rail superhub where HS2 meets the Elizabeth line — is about a 5-minute walk away and slated to open in the early 2030s. At the centre of the £26 billion Old Oak and Park Royal (OPDC) masterplan, the area is forecast to bring 250,000 people and 150,000 jobs within an hour's reach. Willesden Junction (Overground/Bakerloo) is a 13-minute walk.

Residents enjoy a concierge, fully equipped gym, residents' lounge and bar, co-working spaces, and a landscaped level-8 roof garden and sky terrace. The western edge of Kensington, Portobello Road and Notting Hill are a stone's throw away, while Imperial College London's White City campus — a global top-10 university — is roughly a 15-minute walk. Priced ahead of the HS2 opening, NKG offers early entry into one of the strongest growth stories of the coming decade.
