A town in the London Borough of Brent in North West London, UK. It's main focal point is the Jubilee Clock which commemorates Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Harlesden is one of London's "crime capitals", with its high crime and murder rates.
It is slowly shaking off this image, and has been praised for its vibrant Caribbean culture and unofficially named London's Reggae capital. The population includes people of Afro-Caribbean heritage, as well as Irish Catholic, Brazilian and smaller Portuguese communities.
