Kilburn is lively, varied and well connected. The High Road is at the heart of everyday life here, busy from morning onwards and lined with shops, cafés, grocers, restaurants and the everyday services that make life easy. The High Road is busy throughout the day, but the streets just beyond it are quieter and more residential, with Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion blocks and newer apartments.
If you live here, London is easy to get around. Kilburn has three stations, connecting you to the Bakerloo, Jubilee and Overground networks, with central London, the City, Canary Wharf and north London all within easy reach.
The High Road offers plenty of places to eat and drink, from long-established Ariana II to casual spots serving flavours from all around the world. The historic Black Lion is a familiar local pub. For an evening out, Kiln theatre brings both theatre and independent cinema to the High Road, with a programme of new theatre, films, screenings and special events.
Queens Park lies to the west and South Hampstead to the east, putting two very different parts of north-west London close by. Kilburn brings together the convenience and energy of the High Road with quieter residential streets just a few minutes away.
