The Preston ward sits in the north of the London Borough of Brent, made up largely of suburban, interwar housing that grew up around Preston Road station on the Metropolitan line. It lies close to Wembley to the south and the playing fields and hospital campus around Northwick Park, so residents have a mix of quiet residential streets and nearby sporting and medical facilities.
Local life reflects Brent’s notable diversity, with a blend of owner‑occupied homes, social housing and small independent shops; many people commute into central London. Ongoing regeneration and the influence of neighbouring hubs like Wembley mean the area combines long‑standing community ties with steady change.
