Kilburn is one of the multi-cultural areas of London because it has the largest Irish population in the entire city. Kilburn has established itself as one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in North London due to its rich history, culture, and buzz.
In ancient Rome, it was one of the most important parts of London. It is located in the boroughs of Brent and Camden, north of Charing Cross. However, a small section is located in the northern part of the City of Westminster. Kilburn is bordered by Brondsbery, Hampstead, Maida Vale, Cricklewood, and St. John’s Wood. The area’s look is heavily influenced by the fact that it has the largest Irish population. There are many pubs and locals who work hard throughout the streets. In Kilburn’s residential area, the streets are relatively quiet. Most of the houses are terraced and detached. Kilburn today is home to a large number of properties that were cleared from slums during the 1930s and replaced by bomb-damaged properties after the Second World War. Municipal authorities constructed several estates of flats throughout the 1970s, and immigrants from the West Indies, Pakistan and India joined these Irish settlers.
Photographer Peter Marshall toured the Kilburn in 1998 and documented the streets, shops, and everyday life of Kilburn, London.
