The character of Harlesden
Harlesden High Street is dense with market stalls, bus stops and loading bays, and is not a place to wait. The surrounding streets, particularly around Roundwood Park and toward the canal, are calmer and better suited to a scheduled collection. Craven Park and the area near the station carry consistent traffic through the working day, easing only after the evening peak.
- The High Street is unsuitable for waiting — cars hold on a side street near Roundwood Park.
- Market days bring extra congestion around the clock tower through the late morning.
- Craven Park has resident parking bays that suit a short scheduled wait.
- The Congestion Charge zone does not extend to Harlesden.
