==Transport== [[File:Kilburn Station, London.honeydew.jpg|right|thumb|Area around Kilburn station]] ===Tube/train=== Kilburn High Road is served by several railway lines which traverse the road in an eastβwest direction, connecting the area with central London and outer north-west London suburbs. The railways were first introduced to Kilburn in 1852 when the [[London & North Western Railway]] opened Kilburn & Maida Vale station (today's [[Kilburn High Road railway station]]), followed by two stations opened in the [[Brondesbury]] area of Kilburn by the [[Hampstead Junction Railway]] (1860) and the [[Metropolitan Railway]] (1879). Numerous plans were drawn up at the turn of the 20th century to construct an [[Edgware Road Tube schemes|underground railway tunnel under the length of the Edgware Road and Kilburn High Road]], including an unusual scheme to build a type of subterranean monorail roller coaster, but these proposals were abandoned.<ref name=Badsey-Ellis>{{cite book|last=Badsey-Ellis|first=Antony|title=London's lost tube schemes|year=2005|publisher=Capital Transport|location=Harrow|isbn=1-85414-293-3|pages=62β63; 79β83; 264β267}}</ref> Today, Kilburn is served by [[London Underground]] and [[London Overground]] from the following stations:<ref>{{cite web|title=Kilburn station|url=http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/stations/1000126.aspx|publisher=TfL|access-date=14 January 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kilburn High Road|url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/KBN/details.html|publisher=National Rail|access-date=14 January 2014}}</ref> * [[Kilburn Park tube station|Kilburn Park station]] (London Underground [[Bakerloo line]]) - Central Kilburn * [[Brondesbury railway station|Brondesbury station]] (London Overground [[Mildmay line]]) - North Kilburn * [[Kilburn High Road railway station|Kilburn High Road station]] (London Overground [[Lioness line]]) - Central Kilburn Despite its name, [[Kilburn tube station]] ([[Jubilee line]]) is actually in [[Brondesbury Park]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/brondesbury-park-e05000087#sthash.1sqzAf6A.dpbs|title=Brondesbury Park - UK Census Data 2011|first=Good Stuff IT|last=Services|website=UK Census Data|access-date=6 January 2018}}</ref> rather than in Kilburn itself. ===Bus=== Kilburn is served by many bus routes that go along the High Road.
