Flowers Delivered In Kentish Town

As they write down their address for a next-day flower delivery Kentish Town customers might not realise that the very name of their home in north-west London has its origins shrouded in mystery, doubt and, most of all, disagreement. One thing seems certain - it has nothing to do with the county of Kent, or with the area being similar to the county in any way, and therefore being 'Kentish'.

Instead, there are two broad camps in this debate - one possible derivation comes from the old translation of 'Ken Ditch' as meaning a riverbed, perhaps that of the River Fleet as it passes through the region; however, opponents of this view claim that it is more likely Kentish Town is simply named after a landowner named Kentish, due to the spelling 'Kentisston' used in the early 13th century. We may never know for sure, but whether it pays homage to a former owner, or to one of its waterways, the flower delivery Kentish Town customers order today provides a link back to those mysterious origins.
