History of Brent
Brent was formed from districts with different identities, from Kilburn and Willesden to Wembley and Harlesden. The borough became known for transport links, inter-war suburban growth and major entertainment venues. Wembley’s exhibitions and stadium made the area internationally recognisable, while migration from Ireland, the Caribbean, South Asia and beyond gave Brent one of London’s richest cultural mixes.
