The Directory for South Kilburn
The South Kilburn Directory is a unique guide to our local area because of the way it is researched and compiled. The listings are supplied by resident’s themselves, which means that the products and services listed have satisfied customers living locally. We published our first Local Directory in book form for the South Kilburn in 2004.
Working with South Kilburn New Deal for Communities (now the South Kilburn Partnership) we collected hundreds of suggestions for local products and services. With some financial support from the NDC and by selling limited advertising space we were able to print 4,000 copies that were delivered free to all household s in the area.
The directory was based on a very successful formula that originated in Queen’s Park in the early 1990’s. We soon realised that the format was of interest to other local community groups and today have eleven printed editions covering over 40,000 households in NW2, NW6 and NW10.
The unique local feel has proved to be very popular with users and advertisers. For many local service businesses, from gardening to computer services, complementary medicine to home tutoring, the directories are the perfect advertising medium.
Now we have put our whole South Kilburn database on this website which we update continuously. To find out how you can be included our directories, with a listing or an advertisement, follow the links on this page.
The initial South Kilburn Directory exists thanks to the dozens of local advertisers who have chosen to support us; please return the favour and support these businesses and individuals. The professional task of assembling the information and advertisers and producing 5,000 finished books is undertaken by Kensal Green-based marketing consultancy MarketSpark.
