Willesden Green

The thriving London suburb of Willesden Green offers its friendly locals a plethora of amenities, schools and transport links to Central separated by few stops on the tube; its closer neighbours include Cricklewood, Kilburn, West Hampstead, Kensal Green and Harlesden.

Historically, the town was a pilgrimage site owing to the presence of ancient Christian statues, before these were taken to Thomas Cromwell’s house and burnt on a large bonfire.

Families are often delighted by the range of large, affordable family houses in the Mapesbury and Brondesbury Park areas. On top of this, the diverse shopping streets along High Road and open spaces offer a surreal range of lifestyle and leisure activities.
