Alperton stands seven and a half miles west north-west of Charing Cross. St James Church Alperton is the parish landmark on these streets, and the Church of St John is listed with it.

Its Paddington Arm gives Alperton a continuous stretch of open water, fed by the Brent Reservoir.

No charter year is on record for Alperton.

The building stock runs from streets of low-rise houses with gardens to mid-rise blocks and a handful of high-rise buildings. Brent administers it.
