Local Area
Willesden epitomises modern London living - accessible, cosmopolitan,
traditional and fresh all at the same time.

While the Jubilee Line offers fast and direct journeys to Central London, the area’s strong sense of community and unmistakable identity is captivating. The neighbourhood advantageously spans both travel zones 2 and 3, with Tube stations at Willesden Green and Dollis Hill, Overground and Underground services from Willesden Junction, and the M1 motorway close by.
Willesden is undoubtedly a place where you can balance urban conveniences with culture and open space. Take, for instance, Gladstone Park. While there’s a constant reminder you’re in London, thanks to panoramic views across the city, there are award-winning formal gardens, tennis courts and two playgrounds. In addition, Gladstone is one of the only parks in North London where you can walk dogs off the lead. Just add a freshly brewed coffee and a homemade cake from the park’s Stables Café, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect afternoon.


Horizons can be expanded further still. Follow the art trail to marvel at Willesden Green’s stunning wall murals or visit one of the exhibitions at Willesden Gallery. The secret gardens of Mapesbury Dell – hidden among the tree-lined streets of Mapesbury Conservation Area – bring balance to the bustle, while the formal gardens at Roundwood Park are so inspiring that they have earned Grade II listed status. And stay local to enjoy different cultures and communities on your doorstep, with a choice of places of worship and the inspiring Brondesbury Eruv.
Dining out in NW2 also draws from different quarters, with bars and gastropubs sitting alongside fine dining restaurants and a thriving café culture – global tastes from a varied yet close-knit neighbourhood. Why not broaden your culinary palette at Sushi Masa, Sanzio, Spasso, The Queensbury, La Bottega di Anna, Firezza, Mazal 76, Papagayo Café or Mezzoroma?

A truly sustainable neighbourhood, Willesden is also where the ‘shop local’ ethos is well-practised, with independent stores, high street brands, family-run businesses and a farmers’ market creating a lively atmosphere along Walm Lane, the High Road and in Church End. Highlights include Gail’s Bakery, Nest, Xoxo Coffee & Patisserie, Walnut Health Food Store, Mandalin Deli, and lifestyle brands Lily King and Homes Outlet.
As well as nestling in Brent – London’s Borough of Culture 2020 – Willesden sits at the heart of three of London’s largest regeneration areas – Cricklewood/Brent Cross, Old Oak Common and Wembley. The latter, just a short car journey from Clifton Mansions, is a magnet for a multitude of reasons – Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, Boxpark, Ikea and the London Designer Outlet included.
These evolving close neighbours only add to Willesden’s growing appeal, although residents are able to dip into the already established riches of nearby Maida Vale, St. John’s Wood and Belsize Park, or head north into the Hertfordshire countryside.
