Jubilee
Where the name comes from
Kilburn was first recorded in 1134 as Cuneburna, the name of the stream by Kilburn Priory; forms such as Cuneburna and Kelebourne may mean King's Bourne or Cattle Bourne. The station article also mentions a derivation from a Saxon named Cylla.
Worth knowing: It opened in 1879 as Kilburn and Brondesbury and only took its present name in 1950.
