Kilburn
Brent, London
Kilburn sits on the Edgware Road corridor in south Brent, a dense and busy high-street ward that has carried north-west London's Irish, Afro-Caribbean and more recent migrant communities in turn. The entire ward sits inside a conservation area, and the fifteen listed buildings include the Grade II* Gaumont State — now Mecca Bingo on the list, latterly a church — alongside the Grade II Alexandra Terrace. Transport is strong: Kilburn on the Jubilee line, Kilburn Park on the Bakerloo, Brondesbury on the Overground and the High Road bus routes give very good public-transport access. Schools stack up well with forty-eight outstanding nearby, and food and non-food venues run past a hundred each. The downsides cluster at the end: safety is poor, reflecting high-street crime rather than residential risk a few streets back; green space is almost absent at just over two hectares; new housing delivery is weak; and pollution is on the worse side.
