The heart of London W10 is North Kensington (nowadays also known by the name of its main street, Ladbroke Grove). The Grand Union Canal is the official boundary between Kensal Green and North Kensington. The borders between north Kensington and Notting Hill are a little less clear, but residents generally use the Westway flyover as a demarcation. North Kensington was once an area well known for its slum housing, as documented in the photographs by Roger Mayne, but housing prices have now risen and the area is considered exclusive and upscale.

The Queen’s Park Estate, north of the Harrow Road, was founded by the Artizans’, Labourers’ and General Dwellings Company as a grid of terraced cottages for the respectable working classes. The park belonged to the Church Commissioners, who gave it to its present owners, the Corporation of London. During the early 20th century Queen’s Park had a number of small engin­eering firms, but resid­ential building – mostly municipal – has now replaced almost all the original industry. The post-war Mozart council estate has had its problems but things are improving.

Very run-down until the 1980s, Notting Hill now has a contemporary reputation as an affluent and fashionable area known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses and high-end shopping and restaurants (particularly around Westbourne Grove and Clarendon Cross). A Daily Telegraph article in 2004 used the phrase "the Notting Hill Set" to refer to a group of emerging Conservative politicians, such as David Cameron and George Osborne, who would become respectively Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer and were once based in Notting Hill. For much of the 20th century, the large houses were subdivided into multi-occupancy rentals but its rebirth as an affluent area has changed this.
