There was a massive Brexit backlash in parts of London. The atmosphere in areas like that in the days and months after the vote was apocalyptic. Additionally the general Kulturkampf tone of the Conservative campaign clearly went down very, very badly... note that Kensington has a lot of people born abroad who are registered to vote but who usually don't bother. And also, of course, note that North Kensington is a dense concentration of very grim public housing and provides a really solid core from which Labour can work with. And of course there's a substantial university element to the constituency. Sometimes a constituency name can given impression that is not one hundred per cent accurate. I mean it's a freak result and is going to be hard to maintain (harder than certain university constituencies where I suspect that the genie of Student Electoral Power will not go back into the bottle) but what happened is clear enough.
