Kilburn High Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kilburn High Road is the main road in the Kilburn area of London. Running roughly North to South, it forms the boundary between the London boroughs of Camden (to the east) and Brent (to the west). It is a section of the Edgware Road (which is in turn part of Watling Street), between Shoot Up Hill and Maida Vale.

There are three railway stations on the Kilburn High Road: Kilburn tube station (Jubilee Line) at its Northern end, then Silverlink's Brondesbury station (North London Line), shortly south of this. Towards the southern end of the road is Kilburn High Road station (also Silverlink, on the West Coast Main Line). There is also Kilburn Park tube station, on the Bakerloo Line, which is just off the High Road and very close to the High Road station.
