Brondesbury together with Brondesbury Park is an affluent suburb in the north west of London, England. Brondesbury is some 4 miles north west of Charing Cross in the London Boroughs of Brent and Camden. Like many London suburbs it was a rural area until the coming of the railway in the Victorian era. Housing began to be built in earnest in Brondesbury in the 1860s and it soon became seen as a desirable area in which to live, especially for London's Jewish community. Brondesbury is a predominantly residential area.
Giles, Giles & Fripp, the forerunner to the band King Crimson, named their album The Brondesbury Tapes after the area.
Brondesbury has two railway stations served by London Overground's North London Line services with trains to Richmond, Highbury & Islington and Stratford.
The London Underground's Kilburn station served by the Jubilee line is a few meters from Brondesbury station on Kilburn High Road.
