Subsequently, one may also ask, is Kensal Green Safe?
Pretty much every area in London is safe these days, but at a micro-level there are dodgy estates everywhere. As such, Kensal Rise and Queen's Park are fine, but if it's on or near a large estate investigate at street-level.
Similarly, is Dollis Hill a nice place to live? Dollis Hill is thought of as a quiet, but nice family area. It has a good selection of spacious Edwardian houses, and also has exceptional access to green space, with Gladstone Park offering green space and recreational facilities.
Then, is Neasden a safe area?
Safety. The 2014/2015 crime rate and violence against the person rate were both somewhat lower than the rates for London overall. Crime in this area is average, but there is an area of above average crime around the IKEA in Brent Park (near Neasden Station) and a high crime hotspot around Wembley Stadium.
Is Harlesden London safe?
I live in Harlesden, it's fine. It is very ungentrified compared to some nearby areas (eg Willesden Green/Kensal Rise), but I've never felt particularly unsafe. I'm a single female who works shifts so often walk back from the station in the dark or take the night bus.
