Check-in guide for Gatwick Airport: two and a half to three hours for long-haul, two hours for Europe. Add 70 to 105 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Kilburn grows up along Kilburn High Road, the old Watling Street, with the Kiln Theatre and the Gaumont State building, the Victorian terraces of Brondesbury and South Kilburn, and the streets towards Queen's Park and West Hampstead.
Kilburn High Road is a busy bus route with few places to stop. For addresses on it, we pick up on a side street, and the driver calls when outside.
We also cover nearby West Hampstead, Queen's Park, Brondesbury, Maida Vale, Swiss Cottage, Willesden, Kensal Rise and Cricklewood.
Local tip: The Jubilee line to London Bridge makes the train a fair option for one traveller. For families, the car saves two trains with luggage.
