Streets of London - Kensal Rise to Primrose Hill (4K)

A walk through the streets of northwest London starting at Wrentham Avenue in Kensal Rise and ending at Primrose Hill. Also introducing my project in collaboration with Kensal Rise Library for Brent 2020 London Borough of Culture in the Brent Biennal https://www.brent2020.co.uk/events/brent-biennial-john-rogers-kensal-rise-library/

The route of the walk takes us into Tiverton Green, Kensal Rise then down Brondesbury Park to Salusbury Road, Queens Park. We turn along Lonsdale Road to Brondesbury Road. We cross Kilburn High Road which forms part of the Roman Road of Watling Street, believed to be a much older trackway. In West End Lane we walk over the buried 'lost' river of the Westbourne or the Kilburn (Kilbourne) that rises in Hampstead and makes its confluence with the Thames at Chelsea.
“In the lush meadows of Westbourne, near the highway to Harrow, the citizen of London could once see dragonflies and loosestrife, or, lying face down in the buttercups, tickle a brace of trout against the coming Friday.” Alan Ivimey, Wonderful London

Passing Abbey Road and Priory Road, with its resonances of Kilburn Priory, we work our way to Finchley Road and Swiss Cottage before turning off Adelaide Road down Harley Road to Primrose Hill. This venerated spot was once the meeting place of Bards and Druids (the modern version) and is one of the protected views of London.
