Get in
Car
Take the I-15 to the Adams Avenue exit and go east, you will be right there.
Bus
The only bus that runs through Kensington is the 11. The 11 runs from Spring Valley to Downtown to Kensington and then to San Diego State.
See
- Ken Landmark Theater, watch a independent or classic film in this old style theater. Usually only one movie is shown about three times a day but they are worth it.
Do
Kensington is small community with much charm. Instead of going here for excitement you should go to Kensington to relax. Take some time to walk around the neighborhood and see all of the old houses and their well kept gardens. Get a cup of coffee at Kensington Coffee and then enjoy it at the park that surrounds the local library. Around dinner take the time to eat at the local restaurants and then either have a few drinks at the Club Kensington or see a Indie or foreign film at the theater or rent one from Kensington Video.
Buy
- Kensington Video, 4067 Adams Avenue, (619) 584-7725. If you want to rent or need a rare video that the chain stores do not carry this is the place to go. If they do not have it they will find it for you. A definite stop for the movie buff.
Eat

- Just Fabulous, 4116 Adams Avenue, (619) 584-2929. For some really good desserts come here. They also serve a very good breakfast and lunch.
- Kensington Grill, 4055 Adams Avenue, (619) 281-4014. Call and make reservations because this place can fill up fast. It has a full bar and both indoor/outdoor seating. Make sure you have plenty of cash because even though it is really good it is also pricey.
- Ponces Mexican Restaurant, 4050 Adams Avenue, (619) 282-4413. Ponces has been recently renovated offering a new bar and better seating but it still offers some of the best Mexican food in San Diego. Get there with enough time to wait and if you don't want to sit and eat call for take out at.
