As part of the South Kilburn regeneration programme we are committed to making the most of our assets in South Kilburn to enhance the creative, social and cultural life of the neighbourhood. 'Meanwhile projects' have been created on sites that would otherwise sit empty and detract from the area. We turn these sites into places where the local community and creative individuals come together to try something new.
This page summarises some of the past and current meanwhile projects delivered in South Kilburn.
