Info
Brondesbury containing Brondesbury Park is a predominantly suburban area of north west of London, England. Brondesbury begins 4 miles north west of Charing Cross. It is in the London Boroughs of Brent and as to a small part, in the south-east, in Camden. Due to the tube station (Kilburn) being 200 metres north of the station of its name, it increasingly tends to describe the purely residential streets to either side of Kilburn High Road and Shoot-up Hill which are sections of the Edgware Road particularly in the west, the site of its old manor. However east of that very old straight road is West Hampstead in traditional definitions and in the names of several organisations with premises carrying Hampstead-related names.It was a rural area until several decades after the coming of the railway in the Victorian era. Housing began to be built in earnest across Brondesbury in the late 1860s to 1890s and it became desirable enough to retain a suburban layout and most of the associated original wave of house building. It has long had British, Irish, Jewish, black and south Asian communities. Brondesbury is a predominantly residential area. Demographically typical of inner London suburbs with fast public transport links, its proportion of retirees is between 37% and 52% of the national average across all the main electoral wards of which it forms a part.
