Kilburn

Kilburn spans across three London boroughs - Brent, Camden, and Westminster, with Kilburn High Road forming the main thoroughfare through the area.

The district originated in 1134 around a priory established by hermit Godwyn near the Kilburn Brook, which Henry VIII's administration later dissolved in 1536.

The district maintains the largest Irish population in London, alongside substantial Caribbean communities, reflected in the local shops and establishments along Kilburn High Road.

The area connects to central London through multiple transport options, including Kilburn Station on the Jubilee line and Kilburn Park Station on the Bakerloo line.

The Gaumont State Cinema, constructed in 1937, was Europe's largest auditorium and now serves as a religious facility while maintaining its Art Deco architecture.
