If you take a main road like
Kilburn High Rd. as boundary (as it is between Brent and Camden
and was between Willesden and Hampstead before that,
unless I'm mistaken) then you bisect Kilburn. But people will
still say they live in Kilburn whatever side of the road they live -
except some yuppies who wanted Kilburn High Rd tube renamed
Mapesbury, the local government ward, because they thought it sounded
better.

I think it was Kilburn Jubilee Line station which was to be renamed
Mapesbury, because it is not very near Kilburn, and is presumably damaging
local property prices with its name. I think it should be renamed, and I am
neither a yuppie nor a local.

I've just remembered something else: a report on the pedestrianisation at
Finsbury Park mentioned that the area has been neglected because each of the
3 boroughs sees it as someone else's problem. I don't know how true this is,
or if the same problem exists elsewhere, such as Kilburn (proper) or Crystal
Palace.
