The Cherry Trees Residents’ Amenities Association

est. 1968

We are the residents’ association for the Kensington Palace Conservation Area, between Kensington Church Street and Kensington Palace Gardens. Throughout the year we host events for neighbours, follow planning applications, look after the cherry trees and our streets, keep an eye on traffic and parking, and speak for residents to the police and the council.
