Situated right by Willesden Green Underground Station, a handily located local for a casual drink or a good meal. A great place to watch sports events, although it does fill up easily. It also hosts weekly jazz sessions.

"The Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is a beautiful Hindu temple in Neasden. It is built out of 2,000 tonnes of Italian marble and 3,000 tonnes of Bulgarian limestone that were shipped to India to be carved and then brought back to England to be assembled in 26,000 pieces."

Fantastic Victorian terraces and a vibrant cultural scene can be found in Harlesden...

What locals say about Harlesden

  1. There are so many local shops for food, variety of vegetables, fish, meat etc .. Nice nearby parks, easy access and transport , not far from central london, nice restaurant

  2. Friendly neighbours. Entrepeneurial, creative, cosmopolitan community. Local independent shops but close to Kensington, Brent Cross and Westfield. Attractive Victorian and Edwardian houses with good sized gardens and lots of trees so quiet with good parks and open space. Good public transport links into Central London and overland rail to Euston, East London, South and West London. Close to North Circular and A40 so out into the countryside in under an hour.

  3. You can see the changes happening around you. The council now has £4 million, which are being spent on upgrading the public realm on Station Road and the centre of Harlesden,following consultation and work with local residents. And there are more and more local activities, and fun stuff going on. All good.
