About

Kilburn West in the London Borough of Brent centres on Kilburn High Road and the streets that run off it. The area combines Victorian terraces, post-war housing blocks and short parades of shops and takeaways along the High Road. Kilburn tube station on the Jubilee line and numerous bus routes provide regular links into central London. Daily life focuses on local services: grocers, barbers, cafés, a community centre and small employers that occupy converted warehouses and railway arches.

Local culture gathers around a handful of civic venues and grassroots arts spaces on the High Road, including the Kiln Theatre, which programmes film nights, community workshops and live events. The road network meets streets with local names such as Shoot Up Hill, and there are pocket parks and school playgrounds that structure routes for residents on foot. Planning and small business activity shape the street frontage more than large developments, so the area remains organised around its main thoroughfare and the services it supports.
