Editing Kenton, London (section)

==Culture and media==
Apart from the infamous appearance of several of Kenton's streets in the "[[Gourmet Night]]" episode of the BBC-TV comedy series ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'' starring John Cleese,<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/torquay-the-horrible-truth-1116255.html Torquay: the horrible truth], ''[[The Independent]]'', 27 August 1999</ref> the only known reference to Kenton in modern popular culture is the song "Kenton Kev",<ref>GEMA work no.: 2142940-001</ref> by the Berlin-based punk-jazz band [[The Magoo Brothers]] on their album "Beyond Believable", released on the Bouncing Corporation label in 1988. The song refers to the "pleasant valley" high suburban boredom factor then prevalent in the area, and cites local characters and places, some fairly well known. It is said that "Kenton Kev" refers in fact to Kevin Jones, the US-based property magnate, who was actually born in Kenton. The song was written by [[Paul Bonin]], Philip Ulysses Sanders and Melanie Hickford, all of whom grew up and lived in the area.
