Such counter-currents will prevent Kentish Town from gentrifying fully, suggests Gillian Tindall, a local historian.

当地的一位历史学家Gillian Tindall表示，这般逆流现象将完全阻止肯特镇的区域贵族化。

Yet Kentish Town's shops and cafes are almost invariably untrendy and in some cases mouldering.

然而肯特镇的商店和咖啡馆几乎一直都是那个价，有时候价格还会下跌。

Kentish Town has excellent transport links to central London, and plenty of residents prepared to pay good money for that.

肯特镇通向伦敦市中心交通便利，还拥有众多愿意支付交通费的居民。

One explanation is that, in common with other parts of London, Kentish Town has lots of social housing as well as costly Victorian terraces.

一种解释是，与伦敦的其他地区一样，肯特镇有许多的社会住房（指由住房协会和地方市政会提供的廉租房或廉价房）和高价的维多利亚式排屋。

Fully 72% of the population of Kentish Town is white, including a good number of Irish residents—higher than the proportion in London as a whole, at 60%.

肯特镇有近72％的人都是白人，其中大部分是爱尔兰居民（比伦敦的爱尔兰总人口还要多）—这比伦敦总人口的60％还多。
