A revitalised destination for Kilburn is coming soon.

We’re refurbishing 12 railway arches at Kilburn Mews, after our proposals were approved in September 2023. The significant investment will transform this previously hidden space into a vibrant new destination for the community.

Our proposals were designed following extensive engagement with businesses, local groups and the wider community; and your feedback continues to help us as we begin to think about curating the right mix of businesses that’ll benefit Kilburn.

In Spring 2025, Morgan Sindall started Phase #02 which includes installing the frontages, and creating the new landscaped walkway and public space

In Spring 2025, Morgan Sindall started Phase #02 which includes installing the frontages, and creating the new landscaped walkway and public space linking Kilburn Station with Loveridge Road.

At Places for London, we have bigger aspirations for Kilburn and we are continuing to look at further opportunities to unlock more of the potential and deliver a gateway to Kilburn that it deserves.

Next Steps

Morgan Sindall are our contractors, and they are readying the arches for interested businesses to move in next year.

We’ve made the arches flexible so a range of different businesses can apply, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Bruce Gillingham Pollard as we begin the lettings journey.

The arches will begin to be advertised shortly and we encourage all interested parties to keep an eye on our Properties Listings. We know that Kilburn Arches has a strong history, and it became home to local, independent businesses which will play a part. History meets presents to define the future.

    Communities need more than Coffee!

    by CAFordwych, over 3 years ago
    The units in front of Kilburn station used to be really useful: news, snacks, greetings cards and Oyster cards; dry cleaning; shoe repair/key cutting; and above all, the Florist - a wonderful place for both regular bunches and for special occasions; - birthdays, weddings and funerals. All the shops had friendly, helpful staff and the thousands of regular users of the station were able to get what they needed quickly and easily.

    Now it is just a load of coffee shops. I understand that the old shopkeepers had to leave because the rents became too high. How can it be... Continue reading

    ... used to be just outside Kilburn station, but closed suddenly and the shop was emptied soon after (pre-lockdown). Enquiries pursuing the florist established that one of the problems they had was a high rent demanded by TfL. The site was then empty for over two years, which meant both no community asset and presumably also no income for tfl. It has now become a coffee shop, to add to Costa in the station (the former newspaper kiosk), a long established cafe on Exeter Rd, a new one in the former sweet shop in front of the station, and the...

    Cycle

    by Late, over 3 years ago
    I cycle past here everyday. I always think wouldn’t it be cool if they could put a cycle Lane alongside the train tracks, and remove it completely from the road, by running it all the way along the track and through the arches, maybe even taking it under / over ground at the junction with the tube station
