Kilburn High Road

Running through the centre of the area is part of one of the major roads in England and Wales. The A5 is very busy because it is such a significant piece of the road network. The section here, known as Kilburn High Road, is a major thoroughfare and home to numerous shops and amenities. Interestingly, the west side is part of Brent while the opposite side is Camden. In addition, a small part at the south goes into Westminster.

All three councils with a stake in the area are currently working to improve Kilburn High Road. Some projects have already taken place. For example, a partnership with Brent and Camden has led to upgrades to the streetscape, including pavements and lights, on the upper section. At the other end, Westminster, Camden and Transport for London (TfL) have also done works, including installing a new cycle lane.

The next phase of the project for Kilburn High Road took a big step forward recently. The partnership of Brent, Camden, and Westminster Councils has been successful in bidding for £8m in funding from TfL. This will add to funds from the local authorities to allow more upgrades. Crucially, work will improve road safety as well as the public realm. It will be great for local residents and investors. We’ll be on hand to help the latter with guaranteed rent in Brent.

What to expect?

The plan is for the next round of work to begin in summer 2026. There are some really interesting changes on the horizon. For example, there will be upgrades to pavements to make them wider and safer. There will be new crossings too, particularly for cyclists. In addition, there will be new pocket parks and tree planting to make the area greener.

Various stakeholders released statements in response to the funding being granted. Brent Council’s Krupa Sheth, said they are “very excited” to work with their partners on the project. The work will “make Kilburn High Road greener, more accessible, and better for pedestrians”. Westminster’s Max Sullivan echoed the sentiment, saying the work will “benefit residents, businesses, and visitors”.

There was also a very positive response from London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Dr. Will Norman. He leads the Mayor of London’s work on improving streets to make them better for pedestrians and cyclists, improving safety, greenery, and health. He said “it’s fantastic to see Camden, Brent and Westminster working together”. The project will deliver “key improvements on Kilburn High Road”.
