North Kensington W11 / W12 during the London Blitz
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 18:26 BST (UK) »
Would love to hear from anyone who lived in this area between 1940 to 1946, especially any who attended North Kensington Secondary school, in Portobello Road. I might know you as once classmates of mine. Would be great if so.

A poor rather slum area at that time, but how times have changed, by looking at the area by internet now, quite a posh, expensive place to live.
