Kensington Local Knowledge

We Know Kensington
Like a Local

Kensington is one of Melbourne's closest inner suburbs to the airport — and one of its most underrated. Tucked between Flemington Road and the Maribyrnong River, it's a suburb that blends heritage Victorian streetscapes with thriving cafe culture along Kensington Village and the contemporary riverside precincts of Kensington Banks and Newmarket. Our chauffeurs know Kensington's compact grid intimately: the quickest approach via Flemington Road, the best access to Macaulay Road and Bellair Street, and how to navigate around Flemington Racecourse events when the Calder Freeway corridor fills up.
