Kensington Market, Toronto



Kensington Market is one of Toronto's most vibrant and distinctive multicultural neighbourhoods. The original market dates back to British settlement in the 1790s, after which it experienced waves of immigration from many different countries.

Dozens of tiny shops and produce stands are hidden in Kensington's labyrinthine street, and some of the best local produce and meat shops can be found there. Kensington Avenue itself houses several tiny cafes and the best vintage clothing stores in the city.

The market is best travelled on foot or bicycle, as the narrow one-way streets and numerous dead-ends are difficult to navigate by car.
