P & A Keniston of Station Road or Victoria Road, Romford...Fairly rare brand, but AFAIK they didn't build in-house, but sub-con with their badges, probably by Vic Edwards.
Most likely Reynolds 531 tubing, with Nervex lugs, Stronglight 49D cranks, lowish Campagnolo gears, GB bars and stem, Mafac or GB centrepulls, Airlite Hubs(?).
Well worth a sensitive strip down and rebuild, clean and wax the frame, with attention to any frame rust, clean the chrome and polish the aluminium parts. New cables and frame clips, lose the bottle cage, refurb the saddle, new bar tape and toestraps...
Personally, I'd clean and keep the wheels maybe rebuilt with some modern stainless spokes (the originals were probably chrome plated, or cheaper galvanised), fit new tanwall tubular tyres fitted. Vittoria Juniores or Rally tyres are cheap enough and look right.
The rear hub spacing will be 120, so a newer rear wheel won't fit anyway.
All the best,
