FAQs
What are you doing at Kilburn Mews?
Our proposals sensitively restore 12 arches between Kilburn Station and Loveridge Road, making them safe and aligned with modern requirements.
This project is a generational opportunity to reintegrate these hidden spaces with the local high street and community creating a public realm for Londoners to visit, spend time and relax.
Who is doing the refurbishment, and how can I contact them?
We have appointed Morgan Sindall to complete the refurbishment, and you can contact the team directly with any queries or questions on 07816 194858.
When will the refurbishment be finished?
We expect to complete the initial refurbishment in Spring 2026, with businesses operating later in the year.
Places for London has bigger aspirations for Kilburn, and we continue to explore the options alongside others for the remaining arches.
What businesses are going to be moving in?
We have appointed Bruce Gillingham Pollard, a detailed-orientated and family-feel lettings agent to curate the best mix of occupiers that reflect and respond to Kilburn.
No businesses have been pre-determined, and we’ll use the feedback received from the local community to help guide our decisions.
Will any of the original businesses be returning?
We welcome applications from all potential occupiers, and will treat everyone fairly and honestly.
How will you prevent the Mews from disturbing neighbours and from being a hot spot for anti-social behaviour?
We’ve designed the Mews with safety and security in mind, with lighting installed throughout and good visibility. An active Mews is the best deterrent, with businesses creating a vibrancy and attracting people to spend time.
We have been mindful of our neighbours throughout and will continue to do so when we place occupiers in the arches.
Do your proposals require planning permission?
Yes, whatever schemes comes forward we will be required to submit a planning application to both Brent and Camden for determination.
Does TfL own all the land?
As there are three viaducts the ownership of the site is complex with TfL, Network Rail and the Arch Company all holding various interests in the site.
Due to the complex land ownership this is why we are pursuing a masterplanning approach to ensure we can identify a scheme that is right for the entire site not just that which is owned by TfL.
When do you plan to start the development?
Enabling works have started at Kilburn Mews (the 11 arches in close proximity to the station). We expect construction to begin in Spring 2024.
Will you deliver the project all in one go?
We are undertaking a masterplan of the site and intend to deliver the project in phases starting with the Mews area opposite the station before moving on to each run of arches heading towards Iverson Road.
How can I get involved?
We have undertaken a series of engagement activities throughout the evolution of our proposals and will continue to do so.
We welcome engagement with the community throughout and you can contact the team at kilburnarches@tfl.gov.uk
Will Kilburn London Underground station close to facilitate these works?
No, there is no need for the station to close for these works.
