Don't worry I'm not planning on topping myself just yet✌ðŸ»

Lived there 1969-1990. Moaned a lot of the time about how boring it was, but would have said the same about wherever I lived as a teenager. As my Mum used to say, it's easy to get to lots of other places from there (eg Loftus Road), which you can't say about somewhere like Kenton.

I grew up in Willesden just off Brondesbury Park; grandparents lived in Dollis Hill. In fact until three years ago my mum had never lived anywhere else except NW2!

Kenton My parents dragged me there from Kensal Rise in the early 70s when I was a young teen. The blandest and most boring slab of suburbia in London. I hated it.

Willesden until I was two, then hopped on the train to Wembley, just off Preston Rd to be precise, dangerously close to Kenton.
I ended up attending Copland secondary school in Wembley. It had a deservedly bad reputation even in those days but over the years got a lot worse with serious embezzlement by a head teacher and drug street gangs having the run of the place. Unsurprisingly it's now an academy. I believe Raheem Sterling is a former pupil.

You need to try Perivale, David. It’s got a hill.
Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Honed my reading skills on a bus from Wembley to Willesden when aged 4 or 5 in the late 60s to my parents embarrasment, when my Dad said as I was learning to read I shouted out what was scrawled on the back of the seat in front of me " this fxxking bus goes to Willesden".
