It’s a good area but as I mentioned before, it has a lot to improve. I really like the fact that the supermarkets are close to my house and also the transportation is “okay”. The disappointing part is that people are not really respectful. I don’t think the area is appropriate for children but it is really okay to have a pet there. The area is really safe comparing to some other areas in London, so nothing to complain about that.
Transport
The area is close to buses but quite far from the main tube which is Kilburn station but close to the overground cricklewood. Normally when people go to central, they use the tube so that’s a little bit of issue because it’s quite far from Nw2. The buses are always fine, respecting the deadlines and they are really regular but when it’s rush hours the buses take forever to arrive somewhere where it could take half of the time when it’s not rush hour. We have a very good cycle route and it really helps when you need to get somewhere faster than usual.

The street is good but the traffic noises are terrific. Every morning I wake up early because of it. We are really close to a bin collection point, it really helps a lot and the job they do is really amazing. On the street I live, I can see that there are mainly renters, students and random people sharing the same house.
Amenities
I live in a nice area, with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars nearby but I think it should have a bigger variety of choices because those venues are mainly for Arabic food and drinks... culture in general and there are not only Arabic people living there. Those places are really popular. Even with the lockdown we can see sometimes people around talking to each other and before the pandemic it was even greater. So it’s nice places I can tell. In my opinion there should be a little bit more options of restaurants, bars, clothing and shoes shops and cafeterias.
Mapesbury area and its lovely places
What I love about this area is that there are many new places to eat that are trendy and young. Also the chance to have a park really close to the house makes a big difference and the presence of almost all the main supermarkets helps a lot.
Transport
My area is perfectly linked with the Luton airport but also with the other ones as the Jubilee Line makes everything easy to reach and it is also one of the more reliable lines, in 5 years it was shut just once. On the other side when there's no Jubilee line service we are cut off from the city centre.

I live in the Mapesbury area and it's a lovely quiet green area, there's no much traffic and I can't hear the tube at all and also the bin collection is regular. I don't have any issue with my neighboors as there are many families or old people and I think that most of them are owners that just love this place to be quiet.
Amenities
I live between Kilburn and Willesden green and I love that I have a busy high street on one side and a more local street with local shops on the other. My area is also surrounded by nice parks, Gladstone park is not so far and there are many little others and I love that on the weekends we are close to both the farmers market in West Hampstead and Queens park. The shops are great in both areas but there's a lack in places for a quick snack for takeaway, like ice cream or pizza or anything to take before a walk, also there is no place for a nice quiet walk apart from the parks or the high streets, I would prefer a big nice wide walkway.
In this specific area the traffic is very strong
People on the street who do not work, who use drugs and often quarrel with even serious injuries and even people who have died from stab wounds
Transport
In this specific area the traffic is very strong but the buses and metro are very efficient. Traffic is created by the presence of various supermarkets, but also because many people are unruly
Community
My street is not too bad, no traffic noise and good parking, but nott all the people are quiet and reliable
Amenities
More or less all shops are now closed only Off licence and supermarkets are open. CMQ in general lacks something for the boys and the people under 30 years
They should provide more affordable parking or quicker public transport transfer.
