||1:Kentish Town has excellent transport links to central London, and plenty of residents prepared to pay good money for that.||2:Off the high street stretch rows of pretty Victorian terraced houses, which sell for as much as 2m ($3m) apiece.||3:Between 2007 and 2014 property prices in the postcode area surrounding the main Tube and railway station more than doubled.||4:An influx of French parents, drawn by a school that opened in 2011, is pushing prices even higher.||5:Yet Kentish Town’s shops and cafes are almost invariably untrendy and in some cases mouldering .||6:A hair salon, a butcher and a sportswear shop have each been owned by the same men for more than a quarter of a century.||7:Why.

||1: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。||2:距主干街不远，目之所及尽是铺陈开来的一排排维多利亚式排屋，这些房子售价每栋房屋200万欧元（合300万美金）。||3:在2007至2014年间，在主要的地铁站和火车站附近的房价都翻了一倍不止。||4:一所于2011年开放的学校吸引了大批法国父母，这些法国父母的涌入也促使房价的再升高。||5: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。||6:一间发廊、一间肉铺和一间运动服装店，同一店主可以拥有这其中一间店铺超过25年。||7:这是为什么。
