Kensington & Allegheny El Cam

Heart of Kensington Avenue

Look down Kensington Avenue at its meeting with Allegheny Avenue, one of the most recognizable corners in North Philadelphia. This real-time view sets you on the sidewalk among the everyday commerce of the neighborhood.

Storefronts Along the Avenue

Lining the corner are the well-worn facades of local businesses — a corner convenience store and a neighborhood hardware shop among them — their time-worn signs forming the working backdrop of the Kensington streetscape.

Under the Market-Frankford El

Spanning the avenue overhead are the massive steel girders of the Market-Frankford El, the elevated rapid-transit line whose Allegheny station anchors this stretch of the corridor and makes the intersection a constant hub of city movement.
