Neasden NW2 name derives from the Anglo-Saxon words “neos” that means nose and “dun” that means hill. The nose-shaped hill which is a local landmark inspired the name. In 939, the name was Neasdun and Needsden in 1750.

Neasden, once called ‘the loneliest town in London’, is a Northwest London suburban district that forms part of Brent. St. Raphael’s Estate and Brent Park are also included in the area. Neighboring boroughs of Neasden include Willesden, Church End, Cricklewood, and Wembley Park.

The area is served Neasden station and Dollis Hill station, both of which are on the Jubilee line. The north side of Neasden (close to Staples Corner) is near Hendon station, while the south side of St. Raphael’s Estate is near Stonebridge Park station.

The land was once owned by St. Paul’s Cathedral. That happened during medieval times when the place consisted only of a few small buildings.

The Brent Reservoir (between Hendon and Wembley Park) was completed in 1835. Unfortunately, it had a dramatic effect on the landscape. The damming of the River Brent put plenty of meadows and fields underwater.
