Kensington Market is one of Toronto’s most iconic neighbourhoods—an eclectic mix of vintage shops, colourful street art, independent cafés, and global cuisines packed into a tight grid of historic streets. Known for its bohemian spirit, the market feels like a blend of cultures, creativity, and community. From reggae music drifting out of record shops to fruit stands lining the sidewalks, the energy is raw, vibrant, and unmistakably unique. It’s a place where artists, locals, and visitors all intersect, creating a lively atmosphere that feels different from anywhere else in the city.

At the edge of this neighbourhood sits the Kensington Market parking garage, whose rooftop has gained its own kind of fame. Elevated above the bustle, the rooftop offers sweeping views of the market’s mosaic of rooftops and murals, with the Toronto skyline rising in the distance. It has become a favourite spot for photographers, especially during golden hour, thanks to its open space and urban backdrop. Whether you’re capturing drone shots, street-style portraits, or just enjoying a quiet moment above the chaos, the garage rooftop adds a gritty, cinematic layer to the Kensington experience.
