Kilburn High Road, adjacent to the eastern edge of South Kilburn, is a vibrant and bustling town centre in its own right. It is as a prime location for many national retailers - including Marks & Spencers, Boots, Clarke's, Sainsburys, Tesco, Primark, Peacocks and TK Maxx. It also sports a number of independent traders carrying the customary sweep of a traditional high street traders including boutiques, clothes and shoe shops, electrical goods, household utensils and there is also a thriving market 6 days a week for fresh produce.

Not only a great place to shop, it is also a hub for entertainment with a large number of pubs providing cask ales and with a good few also acting as comedy and music venues. The jewel in the crown is the Tricycle that puts on award winnning theatrical performances, mainstream and alternative cinema and a whole range of other cultural events including exhibitions by local, national and international artists.

No less attractive is Queen's Park and the merchants of Salusbury Road. Here one can find award winning restaurants, independent bookshops, genteel cafes and boutique shopping opportunities. The area is called after the park itself - owned and managed by the Corporation of London - that incorporates a cafe, bandstand (with music on Sundays during the summer), a pitch and putt course, a boules or petanque pitch, a wild life nature trail, tennis courts, play areas and ornamental gardens.
