History
Kensington Gravel Pits was an old village located at the junction of what are now known as Bayswater Road and Kensington Church Street. This area is now known as Notting Hill Gate. The village was named after gravel quarries located between the village and the town of Kensington. It was a popular location for artists during the early 19th century, with John Linnell, Thomas Webster and others living in the area.
