Towns, cities and regions, such as Kensington London have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.
About Kensington London
KENSINGTON, a parish and populous suburban district of London, in the Kensington division of the hundred of Ossulstone, county Middlesex, 4 miles W.S.W. of St. Paul's, London. It includes the populous neighbourhoods of Brompton, Earl's Court, Norland, Notting Hill, with parts of Little Chelsea, and Kensall Green. It was anciently an inconsiderable village, and is mentioned in Domesday Survey as Chenesitune, at which time it was possessed by Aubrey de Vere. Foxes were hunted herein the end of the 18th century. In the 16th and 17th centuries several mansions were erected, including Holland House, built by Sir Walter Cope, and enlarged by Inigo Jones; Campden House, erected by Baptist Hicks, Viscount Campden, and recently burnt; Hale House, once the residence of Oliver Cromwell; and Kensington Palace, originally the seat of the Finches, earls of Nottingham, but subsequently purchased by King William III., and converted into a royal palace.
