How the choice of base plays out on the ground.

About Kilburn
What are the main landmarks in Kilburn?
Kilburn keeps its landmarks close to the high streets. St Augustine's rises over the district, one of a string of churches that also takes in the Church of St Mary, Christ Church and the Church of St James. Art belongs here too.
The Ben Uri Gallery shows its collection nearby, while The National Club and the Regency Lodge on Greville Road round out the built heritage. Brick, faith and paint.
What is the history of Kilburn?
Kilburn grew from a roadside settlement into a dense quarter of London terraces. Its churches chart the change. St Augustine's, the Church of St Mary and the Church of St James went up as the district filled and its parishes divided.
Culture arrived alongside faith. The Ben Uri Gallery took its place among the streets, while terraces like Greville Road and buildings such as The National Club fixed the shape Kilburn holds.
