Kensington Market
Located just west of Spadina Avenue between Dundas Street West and College Street, Kensington Market is a vibrant and eclectic neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. Winding between vintage storefronts, narrow pedestrian-friendly lanes, colourful murals, independent cafés, second-hand boutiques and international food stalls, the Market offers a sensory journey through sound, scent and texture. Its layered architecture—Victorian row-houses transformed into lively shops and pop-up stalls—reflects the neighbourhood’s history of renewal and reinvention.
Art and creativity are embedded in the fabric of Kensington Market: each alley and storefront seems to tell a piece of the story, and the entire neighbourhood becomes a living canvas. Walking there, you sense how the neighbourhood shapes those who pass through it—and how, in turn, it reflects the creativity, community and change of the city.
