Brent
In London’s north-west is Brent, stretching from Kilburn in the south up to Queensbury. It’s divided in half by the River Brent and the North Circular, with an aqueduct carrying the Grand Union Canal over the busy road.
Some 150 different languages are spoken by this borough’s residents. After English, Gujarati is the most common, with Neasden home to the striking Shri Swaminarayan Temple. Built in 1995 using traditional methods and materials, it was for a time the largest Hindu temple outside of India.
Brent’s most famous building is Wembley Stadium. The original stadium was open from 1923–2000, hosting greyhound racing, FA Cup finals, the 1948 Olympics and Live Aid – as well as being the site of England’s 1966 World Cup victory. Its replacement opened in 2007, and is England’s national football stadium.
This borough's creative alumni are also plentiful, with famous residents over time including the likes of Zadie Smith, Louis Theroux and Riz Ahmed.
