Kilburn High Road is the main thoroughfare and forms a significant part of the A5 road. The area is known for its diverse population and a lively commercial scene.

The name Kilburn is thought to derive from "Cill's burn", referring to a stream that flowed through the area, possibly named after a Saxon woman named Cill.

The Kilburn Viaduct, a striking railway structure, is a prominent landmark.
