Brent – the Borough with the oldest name and the youngest spirit. Named for the ancient River Brent – a Celtic word meaning “holy” or “high” – this is a borough where history hums beneath the pavements. From the roar of Wembley to the quiet grace of St Andrew’s Church, from the marble splendour of the Neasden Temple to the laughter spilling out of Kilburn’s Irish pubs, Brent is London in miniature: diverse, layered, endlessly alive. It’s where A. A. Milne met Winnie-the-Pooh, where Gladstone debated the Irish Question, where the Golden Retriever was born, and where the world still comes to play. Short name, long story, big heart.
