Kentish Town West is a primarily residential neighbourhood in the London Borough of Camden. The area is defined by its railway infrastructure, with the Overground line and the tracks leading into St Pancras station forming key boundaries. Its streets are a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside several postwar social housing estates. The Regent's Canal runs along its southern edge, providing a pedestrian and cycle route.

The area's commercial activity is concentrated along Prince of Wales Road and smaller pockets like the cul-de-sac of Bartholomew Villas.
