West End Lane is a street in inner north-west London, England (grid reference TQ2585) that runs for about one mile between Kilburn High Road to the south and Finchley Road to the north.
Located in the London Borough of Camden, and the NW6 postal district, the street winds through West Hampstead with a mix of residential and commercial buildings.
It is not connected to the West End of Central London, which is around three miles to the south-east.
The lane takes its name from the Medieval West End hamlet, built on land belonging to Kilburn Priory, denoting the western extent of Hampstead.
[2][3] In the 19th century, the once rural area was gradually merged into the expanding London suburbs.
