A suburban area of the London Borough of Brent. Despite its reputation for being deprived it also has a lot of Caribbean culture. Two gold medal-winning Olympic Boxers were born here: Audley Harrison (Sydney 2000) and James Degale (Beijing 2008). It is also the site of Willesden Junction, which was named because it was in the borough of Willesden (at the time) and not in the actual nearby town.

  • The area along Uffington Road is not Harlesden, it belongs to Willesden Green ward. Willesden Sport's Centre is also quite clearly in Willesden.
