The History of Kilburn
(London borough of Kilburn, North West London NW6, Greater London)
Kilburn is an area of north west London, England, which is divided between three London Boroughs, Brent,
Camden, and a small part in Westminster. The main thoroughfare running northwest-southeast is Kilburn High Road, part of
the modern A5 road which forms the boundary between the boroughs of Brent and Camden. The road dates back to pre-Roman times
and is part of the Roman road known as Watling Street.
In 1980 the Tricycle Theatre was opened in a converted Forester's Hall on Kilburn High Road north of Buckley Road. The Tricycle is a renowned
arts centre, now including a gallery, cinema and theatre. It has a particular reputation for political dramas including dramatisations of
significant court cases and a play about the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which subsequently transferred to the West End and to
New York City. Reflecting the culturally diverse local community of Kilburn, the Tricycle theatre presents many international pieces and films,
often in original language with English subtitles, and hosts or runs social and educational programmes.
