About Harlesden Life

Harlesden is a vibrant, bustling little town in north-west London, nestled between Wembley to the north and Kensal Rise to the south.

Harlesden’s inhabitants are an eclectic bunch. Take a short stroll down the high street and you’ll see just how diverse a community we are. Among the many shops and cafes here, you’ll find an Irish butcher, grocers selling food from around the world, several fishmongers and a number of Caribbean stores and restaurants. Add to the list, a family-run florist, no less than three independent record shops, numerous nail parlours and hair salons, not forgetting the beautiful Roundwood Park and its fantastic café, and Harlesden’s very own Brazillian quarter, all fusing together to give Harlesden its colourful and spirited ambience.
