Kilburn & West Hampstead Past

Kilburn is an old village straddling the Roman Watling Street to St Albans. West Hampstead was a tiny and remote outpost of Hampstead parish. But the construction of Finchley Road encouraged development in both places, and the invasion of a complex of railway routes was influential in the area`s layout. After a period of decline Kilburn is recovering much of its old importance and vitality and once again is an important commercial and shopping district.
