About Kensington

Kensington is an inner suburb about 3 km north west of the Melbourne CBD at postcode 3031. It sits between North Melbourne to the east, Flemington to the north, and Footscray across the Maribyrnong River to the west. Macaulay Road is the main local street with food and coffee options, and the suburb has seen considerable development over the past decade with new apartment buildings alongside older weatherboard homes. The Maribyrnong River Trail runs along the western boundary, offering a popular route for walkers and cyclists linking Kensington to Footscray and up toward Essendon. Kensington and Macaulay stations are both on the Craigieburn and Upfield lines, giving good rail access to the CBD. Bus routes connect across to North Melbourne and Flemington. For airport runs, the rail trip to Southern Cross then the Skybus requires about two legs and extra time, while a taxi provides a direct trip from your front door, particularly useful for early morning flights when rail frequency drops. Silver Taxi provides airport transfers from Kensington to Melbourne Airport and Avalon Airport, fares starting from $49 to $54. We also handle local bookings, hospital transfers, and night time rides. Call 0412 456 588 to book.
