Cricklewood: Northwest London Crossroads on the Edgware Road
Cricklewood sits where the A5 (Edgware Road) meets the A407 in northwest London, straddling the boundary between the boroughs of Barnet, Brent, and Camden. The population of the area is roughly 25,000. The Broadway carries a mix of independent shops, Irish pubs (the Irish community has been established here since the post-war construction boom), and an increasing number of Eastern European and Middle Eastern businesses. Cricklewood station provides Thameslink services to St Pancras and south London.
The Brent Cross and Cricklewood regeneration area, one of the largest redevelopment schemes in north London, will eventually add thousands of homes and a new town centre to the area east of the railway. For adult companionship, Cricklewood's position across three borough boundaries means policing is shared, though all fall under the Metropolitan Police and the same England and Wales criminal law applies throughout.
