The London Borough of Brent sits in north‑west London and takes its name from the River Brent. Created in 1965 from the former boroughs of Willesden and Wembley, it ranges from Victorian terraces and post‑war housing estates to busy town centres and a surprising number of parks and open spaces.
Brent is best known for Wembley, home to the national stadium and a major events arena that anchor large‑scale regeneration, shopping and cultural activity; the borough hosts one of the capital’s largest Diwali celebrations and reflects long‑established South Asian, Irish and Afro‑Caribbean communities. Economically it is mixed - pockets of deprivation sit alongside retail, creative and development growth - and good rail and Underground links make it one of London’s most dynamic and diverse outer boroughs.
