Irish Neighbourhoods in London

Kilburn: Home to London's Irish

"Little Eire" or "County Kilburn" as it's often referred to, is home to one of the largest Irish-born communities outside Ireland itself.

It's the place in London most associated as a home-from-home for the Irish community and has been for decades, with the Irish spirit and imprint all over the area. In Kilburn you can buy the Irish papers, meet Irish friends, hear accents from all over the island and enjoy the area's many restaurants and bars.

For a taste of tradition, head to The Kingdom, a popular old-style Irish pub, or for live Irish folk music, jamming and a great atmosphere, Power's Bar is a must.

The Tricycle Theatre and Cinema is a world-famous venue and a super place to meet friends in its cosy café.

Queen's Park

Just over a mile or so from Kilburn to the west is the leafy Queen's Park. The main road is home to the Corrib Rest, a large, friendly, traditional pub which also hosts Irish dancing classes.

Camden

Leaving the Brent side of Kilburn and heading over the Camden border, via Quex Road, you'll find the enormous Sacred Heart Church, the spiritual home of the area's Irish Catholic community. Further into Camden and into Camden Town itself, the London Irish Centre has been at the heart of Camden Town's Irish population for over 50 years.
